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 games and more.
But the fun doesn’t stop there—every day of the festival offers family favorites everyone will enjoy, including the high-energy Zinzinnati Zircus, live entertainment, games and plenty of traditions to explore. And on Sunday, don’t miss the ever-popular Running of the Wieners, when Cincinnati’s cutest competitors take over the festival grounds.
With lively music, authentic German food, and a festive atmosphere, it’s no wonder Oktoberfest Zinzinnati has been a tradition for generations.
