By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/North Center · October 20, 2025

This weekend, North Center residents can enjoy the crisp October air at the annual Oktoberfestiversary hosted by local breweries Dovetail and Begyle. Taking place Saturday and Sunday (October 11-12) along the Ravenswood Avenue corridor, the beloved celebration serves as both a festive gathering and meaningful fundraiser for The Friendship Center.

The Friendship Center, a vital community resource located at 2711 W. Lawrence Avenue, offers an assortment of groceries including fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy items, and other staples to Cook County residents four days a week. The festival will feature live entertainment, craft beer, and food, with proceeds helping the center donate millions of meals to community members in need.

North Center residents are encouraged to stop by between 12-8 PM to support local businesses while contributing to an important cause. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or simply looking for a fun neighborhood activity this weekend, the Oktoberfestiversary offers a perfect opportunity to celebrate community spirit while making a difference.
