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 closed to
traffic 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. Organized 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.
