Oktoberfest Zinzinnati®, presented by Samuel Adams and Kroger, will return for 10 days, Sep. 18-27. Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is traditionally the nation’s largest Oktoberfest and the second largest in the world to the original Oktoberfest in Munich.
Zelebration Packs are Sold Out! Thank You!
The Fast and the Furriest are back – but in a brand-new way for 2020. Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is accepting videos of your wiener dog running in the yard, on the sidewalk, etc. (dachshunds only, please, stay out of the street). This year, a winner will be decided by vote of favorite dog--not the fastest competitor. The dachshund receiving the most votes will be crowned the winning wiener. The winner will be announced on Sunday, September 27th at the Oktoberfest Highlights and Closing Ceremony at 5:00 pm. Voting closes Sunday, September 27th at 4pm. May the funniest, cutest, best-dressed pup win!
