Grab a Stein and Your Lederhosen; The Largest Oktoberfest in America Is Right Here in Ohio

Grab a stein and your lederhosen, America's Oktoberfest returns to downtown Cincinnati from September 19-22, 2024.

Cincinnati has a proud German history that can be felt all throughout the city. From top-notch breweries to stunning Old World architecture, German culture is alive and thriving in Zinzinnati, Ohio. To top it all off, each fall, the sounds of polka music and smells of brats and schnitzel permeate the streets of Downtown Cincinnati, during the largest Oktoberfest in America.

Cincinnati was founded in 1788 and has deep German roots from the many immigrants who were drawn to the town's bustling commercial and cultural hubs.
