🐔 Fair Oaks Chicken Festival • Speculative 2027 Return

A possible September return of Fair Oaks’ signature community festival filled with music, food, vendors, family activities, contests, and plenty of chicken-themed fun.

A possible 2027 return of the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival would continue one of the community’s largest and most distinctive annual traditions. Previous festivals have transformed Fair Oaks Park into an afternoon gathering built around live music, food, local vendors, family activities, competitions, and plenty of chicken-themed community fun.

Recent editions have featured Chickenstock live music, a Community Kids Zone, Adventure Zone attractions, food trucks, craft and community vendors, and a beer and wine garden. The festival has also become known for its more playful traditions, including the Cluck n’ Crow Contest, Chicken Decorating Contest, and Cornhole Tournament.

Based on FORPD’s traditional third-Saturday-in-September scheduling pattern, Birdcage Heights is currently using Saturday, September 18, 2027 as a planning placeholder. The 2027 event, date, time, annual numbering, admission, activities, performers, vendors, contests, food lineup, partners, and other details have not yet been officially confirmed.

A possible 2027 Fair Oaks Chicken Festival would continue one of the community’s biggest annual traditions.

🍗 Food, Vendors & Community

Previous Chicken Festivals have brought together food trucks, local makers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community groups throughout Fair Oaks Park. In 2026, the Feed Court was hosted by SactoMoFo, with participating trucks offering a variety of food — including special chicken-themed menu items created for the festival.

🏆 Festival Traditions

Part of the Chicken Festival’s personality comes from its community contests and deliberately chicken-themed competitions. Recent editions have included the Cluck n’ Crow Contest, GREAT Chicken Decorating Contest, Cornhole Tournament, Disc Golf Putting Competition, and Egg Drop Challenge. Whether those individual activities return in 2027 remains to be announced.

📅 Why September 18?

The date shown for this advance listing is based on the festival’s established third-Saturday-in-September pattern. Recent festivals were scheduled for September 21, 2024, September 20, 2025, and September 19, 2026. Following that pattern places the likely 2027 event on Saturday, September 18.
