Oktoberfest fun in Aylmer

Bulletin team

Some people called it the Aylmer Block Party because of the widespread fun. The Oktoberfest du Vieux-Aylmer brought families, neighbours, and visitors together for a lively weekend of food, music, and community spirit. Over two days, Rue Principale was a pedestrian-only street between Jubilee and Bancroft, turning the area into a bustling pedestrian zone filled with the sounds of laughter, music, and clinking glasses. Local restaurants and craft breweries lined the street, offering a wide range of dishes and beers, while the popular Grand Festin showcased some of Aylmer’s best culinary talent through shared tables and hearty local fare.

On stage, Okies, Comment Debord, and Bon Enfant performed on Friday, followed by D-Track & Sam Faye, Calamine, Pierre Kwenders, and Moonshine on Saturday, keeping the crowds entertained from start to finish. Organised by the Corporation du Vieux-Aylmer, the event ran smoothly and drew cheerful crowds that demonstrated why it remains one of Aylmer’s most anticipated annual gatherings.
