Welcome to Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, the ultimate celebration of German culture right in the heart of Cincinnati! Enjoy a weekend of non-stop fun, German food, and beer, as Cincy pays homage to the world's largest Oktoberfest outside of Munich.
Delight in the sights, sounds, and flavors of old Bavaria as 5th Street in downtown Cincinnati transforms into a traditional Oktoberfest. Enjoy traditional fest fare like bratwurst, schnitzel, pretzels, and sauerkraut, perfectly paired with an array of locally brewed beers.
Dance to the beat of live oompah bands and raise a stein with fellow festival goers. Cheer for your favorite dog during the Running of the Weiners race. Grab your lederhosen or dirndl and participate in the iconic chicken dance, a crowd favorite that unites people of all ages.
