About the Artists
Baritone Sidney Outlaw has been described by The Washington Post as a "generous &amp; expressive singer", The New York Times as a "terrific singer" with a "deep rich timber," and an internationally acclaimed vocalist for his "weighty and forthright" singing (San Francisco Chronicle). Since winning the Concurso International de Canto Montserrat Caballe in 2010, he has performed widely in the US and abroad. In the 2024/2025 season, Sidney performed recitals with pianist Warren Jones at the Brooklyn Art Song Society and The Manhattan School of Music. He debuted with the California Symphony, singing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, and with the Bozeman Symphony, singing Mozart's Requiem. He also returned to the Jacksonville Symphony for Handel's Messiah. On the operatic stage, he reprises the role of Mozart in Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni with Pensacola Opera and Opera Philadelphia. Last year, Sidney released his album, Black Pierrot, featuring music by William Grant Still and Dr. B.E. Boykin, including the world premiere of 26 Ways of Looking at a Black Man, with text by poet Raymond Patterson (Commissioned by Merola Opera), which was recently nominated for a Grammy award. Sidney’s recent highlights include performances with Boston Baroque, Chattanooga Symphony, Toledo Opera, National Symphony and appearances at NYC’s Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. He currently holds voice faculty positions at the Manhattan School of Music, The Conservatory at Brooklyn College (CUNY) and Teachers College, Columbia University, where he is pursuing his PhD in Music Education.&nbsp;

The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce that its annual “Fairfield Harvest Market” event, will be held on the Old Town Hall Green, (corner of Old Post Road and Beach Road) on Saturday, October 17th, and is now accepting vendor applications.
The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce heralds the start of the autumn season by welcoming vendors, both business &amp; artisan, who want the opportunity to reach Fairfield and area residents, on the historic Old Town Hall Green, where they will display their products and items to the general public. The much-anticipated Halloween Costume Dog Parade will be held again this year at noon, so pet-related vendors are also invited with their pooch-related items!
Last year, 2025, the event featured more than 80 well-known and unique retail vendors, along with a variety of food trucks, and Fairfield Rotary’s Beer Garden! Shoppers and visitors stroll along the pathways enjoying music, food and making purchases – even buying gifts for the upcoming 2026 holidays!
Hurry up! The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is currently accepting vendor applications and encouraging vendors to contact the Chamber as soon as possible, as the remaining spots fill up quickly.
