The BDC’s Historic Depot District Special Events Committee is celebrating its 10th annual Oktoberfest this year. The successful two-day event takes place in the Depot District on both sides of the Metra tracks between Oak Park and Home Avenues. In addition to record attendance of residents and visitors over the two days, it includes lots of food, live performances, amusement rides, kids' activities, crafters, vendors and a beer garden.

If you'd like to participate as a food vendor, please call 708-788-8100 to request an application.

Once again dogs will be able to participate by attending Dog-toberfest, presented by The Urban Mutt. This dog-friendly area will feature activities, food and "beer" for dogs.
