The 14th Annual 2024 Springfield Oyster and Beer Festival (SOB Festival) is returning for a RECORD BREAKING YEAR!  The event will be held at the Inn at 835 in Downtown Springfield on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend from 12-5pm. It will be held rain or shine, because attendees will be covered by the two 100' tents we've secured.

In 2024, there is slated to be over 150 beers and ciders from over +60 breweries that will be represented from across the midwest and nationally.  We're excited to announce 19 NEW BREWERIES attending the festival.

Musical acts will keep you moving as you enjoy new and unique fine craft libations. Gourmet oyster dishes as well as food trucks to keep your belly happy while your taste buds are entertained by delicious brews.

To date, the SOB Festival has donated over $170,000 to area charities. This year's charity recipient is the Legacy Theatre, Springfield.  The Legacy Theatre fosters an environment where creative exploration of the arts is embraced and nurtured in an atmosphere of support and respect.

Follow our Facebook page to stay up to date on all our developments! This year is shaping up to be the biggest and best event yet- and with you joining us, it's sure to be a blast!

With your general admission, you'll receive a special SOB tasting glass, providing you samples of your choice, a snack at the gate and a brewers guide.

Parking is available on the street or two blocks to the North at the Vinegar Hill Mall Complex. For any other questions, visit sobfestival.com or call 217-522-3123. As this is a rain-or-shine, charitable event, refunds will not be issued.
