Oakshire Brewing will host an official Grand Opening celebration for the Oakshire Commons on Saturday, May 3. The event will be an Oakshire Inspires benefit for the McKenzie Community Land Trust, a group dedicated to providing access to land for affordable housing and supporting economic development throughout the McKenzie River community. The celebration will feature live music and other festivities throughout the day.
“We believe strongly in creating welcoming environments where people can connect face-to-face, put down their phones, and engage with their neighbors, which our society needs now more than ever,” said Kiley Gwynn, Marketing Director at Oakshire Brewing. “The Oakshire Commons is designed to be a gathering place beyond home and work, where real connections happen over a pint. In this spirit of fostering community, our Grand Opening celebration will not only mark an exciting chapter for Oakshire in Springfield but also give back to the community that supports us. Many of our team members have strong personal ties to the McKenzie River area, and we’re honored to use this community-centered space to continue supporting rebuilding efforts after the devastating 2020 Holiday Farm Fire. The McKenzie Community Land Trust embodies the spirit of collaboration and community support central to our values at Oakshire. Through our Oakshire Inspires program, we’re proud to support their community-building efforts while inviting our friends and neighbors to be part of something bigger. It will be a day filled with great beer, music, and the kind of genuine human connection that makes communities thrive.”
