The sounds of steins clinking, the scent of sizzling bratwurst, and the sight of fall colors reflected on the lake will welcome guests back to Purity Spring Resort’s annual Oktoberfest celebration on Friday, September 26, 2025. Held on scenic Purity Island, this lively autumn tradition combines authentic German fare, festive drinks, friendly competition, and the spirit of community in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

The event welcomes both day guests and those seeking a weekend getaway through Purity Spring’s special Oktoberfest Lodging Package.

Festivities run from 4 p.m. until 8pm on Purity Island, where guests are greeted by a glowing fire pit, spacious seating areas, and seasonal decorations of pumpkins and cornstalks. A Bavarian Oom-pah music playlist sets the backdrop for the evening, encouraging revelers to raise their steins and toast the season.

The energy builds with the much-anticipated Stein Hoisting Competition, where participants showcase their strength and stamina by holding a full stein of beer at arm’s length for as long as possible. Winners proudly claim a custom-engraved pine medallion, earning bragging rights until next year’s event.

Culinary traditions take center stage with an authentic Oktoberfest menu available for just $22 per person. The feast includes:

• Garden Salad
• German Potato Salad
• Gurkensalat Salad
• Bratwurst with Sauerkraut
• German Rouladen
• German Grilled Marinated Chicken
• Hot Dogs
• Iced Tea and Lemonade
