Oktoberfest
Pröst, y'all! Oktoberfest time in Zinzinnati is serious business--so serious that we have multiple celebrations lasting all month long! Â
Since 1979, families have flocked to Covington’s Goebel Park in Mainstrasse Village to celebrate German heritage and culture at Covington Oktoberfest. The festival raises a stein to German culture with live music from local musicians, local food, beer, and art!
America's largest Oktoberfest, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati showcases the rich German heritage of the region as well as features tasty samples of German music, food, and beer. First held in 1976, the event has grown to more than 575,000 attendees each year. Grab your friends and head downtown to partake in the more than 87,500 mets, 80,500 bratwurst, 64,000 sauerkraut balls, and 23,000 pretzels consumed in Oktoberfest Zinzinnati weekend.
In case you don't get your fill in Zinzinnati or just want a smaller scale Oktoberfest experience, check out the Hofbrauhaus Oktoberfest celebration! Live entertainment, excellent food, bier, activities for the kids, and more!Â
Last, but not least, don't miss the Newport Oktoberfest. The event happens as a Munich Oktoberfest style in a large Fest Tent sponsored by German Beer Breweries and continuous live German entertainment. Will you participate in the stick horse racing, beer stein holding competition, or log sawing competition?
