August 2, 3, 4, and 5, 2012 at Newport on the Levee.
Look for all of your favorite food booths as well as rides for the kids and game booths.
Glier's Goettafest has consistently provided festival guests with live music and cloggers throughout the festival. Goetta games such as the Goetta Toss, Goetta Slide, and Goetta Ring Toss have given Goettafans young and old a chance to win fun prizes.
Glier's Goettafest made its triumphant return to Northern Kentucky in 2005 with its move to Newport's Riverfront Levee, just down the steps from the Newport Aquarium. The Riverfront Levee offers festivalgoers with a beautiful view and plenty of space to walk around. Glier's provided guests with two large Cooling Stations in which they were able to get out of the sun and sit and relax.
Goetta, a German dish, is often compared to breakfast sausage or scrapple. It is a unique, delicious and nutritious mixture of pork, beef, steel-cut (pinhead) oats, and seasonings, which is carefully prepared by the Goetta Specialists at Glier's. The product is then packaged in one pound rolls or is fresh cut at the grocery or restaurant from larger blocks of Goetta. Most people enjoy Glier's Goetta at breakfast as a side dish with eggs or pancakes.

What is goetta?
Pronounced “get-uh,” goetta is the ultimate blend of pork, beef, whole-grain steel-cut oats, onions, and spices. Carefully crafted daily in slow-cooked small batches, Glier’s Goetta is the best-selling goetta in the world. Its crispy-creamy texture and unique flavors are most deliciously showcased simply browned, hot from the pan.
