Oktoberfest Zinzinnati

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati celebrates Southwest Ohio's deep German heritage with lively music, delicious food, and plenty of beer. Since its debut in 1976, it has grown into America's largest Oktoberfest, attracting over 575,000 attendees annually. The festival returns bigger and better than ever. Head to Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove for an incredible celebration packed with expanded entertainment, including the Running of the Wieners, the Stein Hoisting competition, the Date Cincy Singles Party, a Glassblowing workshop, and a massive 300-foot fest tent that seats over 1,000 guests. It's going to be a busy weekend downtown, so give yourself extra time for parking, carpool with friends and family, or take advantage of Rideshare services and public transportation. There are thousands of parking spaces available in the paid surface lots along Eggleston Avenue, just a short walk to the East Entrance of the festival. Be sure to read the posted signage in each lot. You can also find metered and free parking along Riverside Drive. You'll be excited to know there are convenient pick-up and drop-off locations along E. Pete Rose Way and E. Mehring Way, making it easy for everyone to access the festival. Whether you're using a rideshare service or getting dropped off by friends, these stations will ensure a hassle-free arrival. If you're taking public transit, plan your route through Metro's website in Cincinnati or TANK's website if you're coming from Kentucky. Invite your friend
