Beveridge Oktoberfest
Craft Beer Festival

6-9 PM from Wolfeboro
This experience features a three hour cruise, craft beer sampling, and multiple decks of live entertainment.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Launched in 2014, the Beveridge Icefest Craft Beer Festival is legendary for its unique concept – hundreds of beer lovers coming together on frozen Lake Winnipesaukee in February, discovering new beers from their favorite local breweries.
In June of 2024, the festival celebrated its 10th anniversary with a new concept that also takes place on Winnipesaukee – Beveridge Aquafest. Hosted on the M/S Mount Washington, the event celebrates the start of summer and showcases new summer flavors by local craft breweries.
Based on the success of Aquafest, Beveridge Festivals has again partnered with the M/S Mount Washington to introduce Beveridge Oktoberfest, a new festival that celebrates the unique beer flavors that come with cooler days and longer nights. Oktoberfest isn't just beer, it's live music, festival food and traditional German fare.

Can I bring a stroller on board?

Yes, we offer group discounts for parties of 20 or more with an advance reservation. Please contact our Ticket Office to speak with a group sales representative.
