The Bockfest Events You Won’t Want to Miss

This year, the 26th Annual Bockfest returns to Cincy from March 2nd to the 4th with its usual line-up of community-oriented events. As always, admission to the events is totally free, so everyone is invited to come out and enjoy the celebration. One event that you can't miss is the big parade, which signals the beginning of Bockfest every year.

It starts at 6 p.m. on March 2nd at Arnold's Bar and Grill with a goat pulling a keg at the front of the pack, along with the current "Sausage Queen of Cincinnati" as the Grand Marshal. The parade culminates in a bash at Bockfest Hall that lasts all weekend long with German-inspired food, live music, and plenty of craft beer. Come to the Billygoat Ball on Saturday, March 3rd to see the new Sausage Queen and Beard Baron be crowned and enjoy more free-flowing bock beer.
