There’s Nothing Better Than This New Hampshire Beer And Wings Festival

Beer and wings – the most American of pairings. The saucy heat of a perfect wing, washed down with a cool, refreshing sip of a cold brew….it can’t be beat. We love this combination all year round (after all, what else are you supposed to have while you watch football?) but it’s somehow enhanced by being outside on a perfect summer day. Now imagine an entire festival dedicated to beer and a huge variety of wings, all enjoyed in Nashua’s historic Holman Stadium.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

The Gate City Brewfest and Wing Competition is an annual Nashua event at Holman Stadium. This year's festival will be held Saturday, August 19, from 1–5 p.m.

The event brings in craft brewers from the state and region, with dozens of beer and cider-makers represented. Whatever your taste in beer (and even if you don't think you like it!) there's sure to be something you'll love.

Once you've whetted your appetite with a few brews, dig into some wings! The event includes a wing competition between many local restaurants and chains.

There's also plenty to keep you entertained, including live music from several local performers.

The Budweiser Clydesdales will even pay a visit! Even your underage family members will have plenty to do, with an "art battle," face painting, a bounce house, and more.

Of course, the corn hole tournament is a big highlight. This game is a faceoff between teams who won preliminary rounds at bars and restaurants throughout southern NH. The competition definitely gets heated!

By the end of the day, you're sure to be tired, satisfied, and happy - this event is one big party.
