A Brief History of Attitash Oktoberfest
Attitash Mountain Resort has been celebrating Oktoberfest for over two decades, bringing Bavarian spirit to the heart of New Hampshire. Inspired by the original Munich festival, this White Mountains tradition has grown into a weekend filled with craft beers, German fare, and live music, all framed by the vibrant fall foliage of Bartlett.
Guests can expect traditional favorites like steins of local brews, bratwurst and pretzels, and live bands that fill the mountainside with cheerful tunes. There’s even a Biergarten featuring regional craft breweries, games like the stein hoist competition, and a lively dance floor where everyone feels like family.
“In heaven there is no beer… that’s why we drink it here!”
German Proverb
