When the people of Cincinnati start measuring their dachshunds for hotdog bun costumes and practice their Chicken Dance moves, it can only mean one thing – that it is time for Oktoberfest.
Cincinnati is proud of its German heritage and during the months of August and September, the entire city celebrates the German tradition of Oktoberfest with not just one but three festivals taking place in and around the city. Possibly more beer, bratwursts and potato pancakes are consumed in Cincinnati during Oktoberfest than in any other city in the country.
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, 18-19 September 2010
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati claims to be the second largest Oktoberfest in the world which would make it second only to the world-famous celebrations in Munich. The festival has been held in downtown Cincinnati since 1976 and has grown steadily over the years. Today, it covers an area of six city blocks, from Race Street to Broadway, devoted to German music, food and beer. Over 500,000 people attended Oktoberfest Zinzinnati in 2009.
