Oktoberfest Zinzinnati festivities, including this beer hall, were moved to Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove in 2024.

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is a celebration of the Queen City's German roots, complete with food, beverages, music and dancing. This year, the event marks 50 years in Cincinnati and is taking place at Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove from Sept. 17 to 20.

On Cincinnati Edition, we speak to some of the folks that make the festival come to life.

Guests:
