Family Day

Family Fun
for Everyone

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is back—and this year, the fun along the riverfront is bigger than ever! Sunday is officially Family Day, featuring special activities just for kids and families, from face painting and scavenger hunts to roller skating and more.

But the fun doesn’t stop there—every day of the festival offers family favorites everyone will enjoy, including the ever-popular Running of the Wieners race, the high-energy Zinzinnati Zircus, and plenty of games, entertainment, and traditions to explore.

With lively music, authentic German food, and a festive atmosphere, it’s no wonder Oktoberfest Zinzinnati has been a tradition for generations.
