Oktoberfest Zinzinnati®, sponsored by Samuel Adams and produced by the Cincinnati Regional Chamber, gets bigger and better as it moves to 5th Street! From September 14-17, 2023, the nation’s largest Oktoberfest will convert downtown Cincinnati’s 5th Street into a vibrant Bavarian village serving up German cuisine, entertainment, and beer. To zelebrate the return to 5th Street, festivities will commence one day earlier, feature expanded entertainment and activities, and open one hour earlier on Sunday.
Speaking of entertainment, WOAH!
