First held in 1976, America’s largest Oktoberfest welcomed a record 808,300 attendees last year to celebrate the rich German heritage of Southwest Ohio. The tradition continues in 2025 with expanded days and hours, kicking off on Thursday, September 18.

This year’s festivities will once again transform Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove into the ultimate Bavarian playground. Enjoy FREE admission, more space to explore, an even bigger entertainment lineup, and a massive 300-foot fest tent seating over 1,000 guests.
