Oktoberfest at Whiteface Mountain: A Full September Day in the Adirondacks

Whiteface Mountain hosts its annual Oktoberfest on September 26, and the Adirondack setting makes it a different thing than a tent full of steins in a parking lot. The mountain itself is the draw — whether or not the foliage has fully turned by late September, the views from a place that hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics put a certain scope on a Saturday afternoon. Running from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, it gives you a full day in the mountains before the drive home.

Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026 Time: 10:30 AM – 6:00 PM Location: Whiteface Mountain, Wilmington, NY (near Lake Placid) Cost: See lakeplacid.com for details
