BBQFest

Fire on the Mountain! Wachusett keeps things hot with a festival celebrating all things barbecue. The weather might be a little gloomy but we have plenty of vendors and space to relax in the lodge. Catch the Patriots game on our extra-large screen!
*Please Note: Out of an abundance of caution, we have cancelled our annual BBQFest Keg Toss. We know — we’re sad too! The good news is, we host the Keg Toss both days of Oktoberfest! Let’s all hope for better weather and we’ll see you on the Mountain October 3rd & 4th.
🍖 Some of the best smoked and grilled food in the East, with cold beer to wash it down. See the list of options below.
🪕 Featuring live music starting at 12pm and 3pm. See schedule below.
🌶️ It’s back! The third annual Hot Wings Competition returns both afternoons at 3:30pm. Think you have what it takes to finish first? Sign ups begin when gates open – The competition is free to enter, for those that dare.
🐍 Creepy crawlies! Catch a live animal show at 1:00pm daily featuring snakes and reptiles with Animal Adventures.
🎈 Fun for all ages – Kids welcome, and Children 5 & Under are free to enter!
⛰️ Soar on the Skyride: The trees are just beginning to turn and you won’t want to miss one of the most unique views of the Fall foliage.
