Join us for the region's largest celebration of German food, drink, and music. This three-day festival perfectly coincides with fall foliage season, so you'll enjoy beer and brats alongside stunning views of New Hampshire's White Mountains.

What Is Happening:

Live Music
The hills will be alive with the sound of Oompah! Guests will clap along and dance to the Eastern Sound Orchestra as they play polkas, waltzes, and other German-style favorites.

Beer Gardens (21+)
Adults will enjoy a range of seasonal beers from Samuel Adams inside and outside the Governor Adams Lodge. In addition to classics like Oktoberfest and New England IPA, shandies and ciders from Angry Orchard, and Truly will also be available. White Mountain Oktoberfest glass boots and steins are available. Celebrate responsibly.

Free Fall Games
White Mountain Oktoberfest wouldn't be the same without a full lineup of free fun games and activities for all ages.

Axe Throwing
Channel your inner lumberjack and test your axe throwing skills with a two-target mobile axe throwing station. Instructors will share their knowledge as you try to hit the bullseye. (Ages 18 & up).

Face Painting
Get in the festive spirit with face painting! Our local artist will create animals, bugs, and a lot of other colorful masks to choose from.

Pretzel Necklaces
Pickup a kit from Snyder’s of Hanover and make your own necklace of these salty snacks. Please donate to Loon Mountain Area Community Fund to pick up your kit.

Touch-a-Truck
Kids can check out some of the big machinery that keeps Loon running every winter and summer. Kids will be hopping into the seat and getting behind the wheel. Free for all ages.

Beer College (21+)
Get a hoppier education with members of the Boston Beer Co. team, lead a sampling of seriously good beer and drop some Boston-brewing science for you and your study buddies. Classes begin at 11:00am and will be held in Boyle's Break House. Ages 21 & up. Class sizes are limited, reserve your spot starting September 26.

Mountaintop Yoga
Load the Gondola Skyride and spend the morning at the summit of Loon Peak, where stunning views of the White Mountains in peak foliage will inspire a special hour-long yoga session. Sessions are offered at 9:30AM on Saturday, and each session is limited to 30 participants. First come, first served.

Participants must purchase a Gondola Skyride ticket.
