Event Information
The Cincinnati Regional Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the 48th annual Oktoberfest Zinzinnati presented by Sam Adams will take place at Sawyer Point & Yeatman’s Cove and provide the experience of a Bavarian-style festival. The Chamber, the City of Cincinnati, and the Cincinnati Parks Department look forward to bringing one of the city’s most celebrated traditions to this beautiful park situated along the Ohio Riverfront. It has been the site of numerous large-scale regional and national events over the years, making it a fitting location to host Oktoberfest Zinzinnati.
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2024 will take place the third weekend in September:
- Thursday, September 19 – 5 p.m. - 11 p.m.
- Friday, September 20 – 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.
- Saturday, September 21 – 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.
- Sunday, September 22 – 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.
The new location will better accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who attend Oktoberfest each year and give it a fun-by-the-river feel for families and people of all ages. Visitors can enjoy park amenities, such as the playground and sand volleyball courts, alongside festival vendors, entertainment, and traditional Oktoberfest Zinzinnati main events, including the keg tapping, The Rich Walburg World’s Largest Chicken Dance, the annual Running of the Weiners, and stein-holding contest
Additionally, this year’s festival will feature the largest beer tent in event history: a 300-foot tent that seats 1,000 people and will bring a beer hall feel. Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove also boast multiple stages to feature live music and other entertainment to wow the crowds.
"Hosting Oktoberfest at Sawyer Point & Yeatman’s Cove gives us the opportunity to highlight some of Cincinnati's great assets – our beautiful parks and riverfront. This year’s festival will not only be a better experience for those who have made it a tradition to come each year, but it will hopefully attract even more visitors from outside our region, creating an even larger economic impact for our city," said Aftab Pureval, Mayor of Cincinnati.
"We are excited to move Oktoberfest Zinzinnati to Sawyer Point & Yeatman’s Cove to transform the event from a street fair into an even more authentic experience with more tents, more music, more beer, all located at the most beautiful location in the City. This space gives visitors of all ages room to spread out and enjoy all the festival’s traditions, to enjoy the Ohio River banks and our parks, and to honor the unique beer history where some of the first breweries were opened," said Brendon Cull, President and CEO, Cincinnati Regional Chamber.
