The Fair Oaks Chicken Festival is a celebration of our rural history and present village atmosphere The Village of Fair Oaks, settled 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
Today the Fair Oaks chickens enjoy the freedom and hospitality of the village they call home. They, along with their human counterparts, have attended the Thursday night summer Concerts in the Park series and have been found crowing their appreciation for a good performance at Comedy Under the Stars. They gather in front of the local pub and other village businesses and even drop in for a bite to eat.
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, lore, and love ‘ em or curse ‘ em they are a very real part of everyday life in the village they call home.
The 2024 Fair Oaks Chicken Festival is located at Fair Oaks Park while the Village undergoes renovations
