This Saturday September 15 is the 2nd annual Fair Oaks Chicken Festival in Fair Oaks Village, in and around the park. Center of the action will be the intersection of Fair Oaks Blvd and California Ave.
There will be Craft Fair, Food Vendors, Dancing, Beer Tasting, Live Music, Kid's Activities, Chicken Dinner, Cooking Demonstrations & Wine Pairings, and admission is FREE!
The Fair Oaks Chicken Festival is a celebration of our rural history and present village atmosphere. The Village of Fair Oaks, colonized around 1895, was home to orange and citrus groves as well as olive orchards and assorted farm animals—and, without a doubt, chickens were among them.
Here is a quote from the Chicken Festival website:
"Today the Fair Oaks chickens enjoy the freedom and hospitality of the village they call home. They, along with their human counterparts, attend the Thursday night summer concerts in the park. They can be found “crowing” their appreciation for a good performance at the Fair Oaks Theatre Festival. They gather in front of the local pub and other village businesses and even “drop in” for a bite with diners on the patio of one of Sacramento County’s better known restaurants. They have been the subject of television and radio stories as well as local newspaper and magazine articles. In short, they are a part of our history and lore—and love ‘em or curse ‘em—they are a very real part of everyday life in the village they call home.
"In 2006, we celebrated our chickens and our village with the First Annual Fair Oaks Chicken Festival and the results were astonishing! How were we to know that our chickens would prove to be so popular?
The Fair Oaks Recreation and Park District estimated that 8,000 people attended this one day event last September!"
