NH PoutineFest Spooktacular 2021

We are so excited to return to the grounds of Anheuser-Busch in Merrimack, NH on October 23rd, 2021!

This is a special edition of NH PoutineFest with a Halloween twist! We're planning some fun activities and strongly encourage attendees to dress in their Halloween best :).

Merrimack is located less than an hour from Boston and is fifteen minutes from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

Première and General Admission ticket holders have the opportunity to sample poutine (a healthy portion) from our participating restaurants! Our restaurants will also be competing against each other for the “Best Poutine Of The Fest,” and only one will get to raise a special Halloween edition of the Ceinture de Championnat/Championship Belt.

We will a DJ, great beer, games, children’s activities and some phenomenal poutine.
