Join us for our Third Annual Halloween Beer Festival!

Get ready for an extraordinary experience at the Halloween in the Hangars Brew Fest, happening indoors on Saturday Oct 26th at the New England Air Museum. This incredible event will showcase local breweries, live music, and food trucks. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to indulge in their favorite brews inside a massive hangar, which houses an impressive collection of 80 historic aircraft, each with its own captivating story. As the largest aviation museum in the Northeast, it serves as your private playground after hours, offering a unique chance to explore and discover new craft beers this October. Step into the past and embark on vintage planes while engaging in conversations with the remarkable folks who have piloted or restored these magnificent aircraft while savoring a few craft brews.

Wear a costume to be entered into our costume contest for the chance to win some great prizes. Don't miss this unique experience!
