Max Chef to Farm Festival: 10th Annual Hoptoberfest

Celebrating 15 years of MAX CHEF TO FARM!

LOCAL | SUSTAINABLE | CONNECTICUT GROWN

We start with the Farmers. They tell us what is at peak perfection each day and we build our menus around that day’s harvest. Our Chef to Farm Festivals are an opportunity for our guests to enjoy the freshest foods and produce in the sublime beauty of our farms, the true treasures of our state.

Celebrate Max’s 10th Annual Hoptoberfest on Sunday, October 20th! Local beer is the best beer! Enjoy live music (BooYah), and an Oktoberfest-inspired spread by Max Catering & Events. We've been pickling all summer in anticipation of this Festival!

The ticket base price is $69 (not including taxes and ticketing fees), and you must be over 21 to attend. The ticket price includes 1 tasting glass and 2 oz. pours of some of the best beers in the world, a tasting guide, and all the bites you can eat.

The designated driver ticket price is $32.50 and includes event access and food, but there are no drinks.

A portion of each ticket sold goes to Journey Home, whose mission is to ensure a home for all. They’ve spent more than a decade committed to ending homelessness in Connecticut’s Capital region by working with service providers, elected officials, businesses, and local communities.


This list will be updated as we get commitments, but this is what we have had in the past - typically about 40+ vendors.
