Wachusett Mountain runs a two-day Oktoberfest at its Princeton base area, reaching its eighth edition in 2026. The weekend pairs German and craft beers and German-themed food with the TubaFrau Hofbräu Band, stein hoisting and keg toss contests, and a crafters market of more than thirty-five vendors. The Skyride runs over peak foliage, and a ski train shuttle serves the mountain, so the festival doubles as a fall foliage outing.
