About Bockfest

Bockfest is first and foremost, a community event. In addition to throwing a great, three day long party, our goal is to celebrate and support our local community. We work to grow Bockfest every year, to increase attendance, to grow the parade, to add events, and to raise more money to spread the word. However, as enthusiastic as we are about growing the festival and sharing it with an increasingly wider range of America, we are unwavering in our commitment to keep Bockfest unique, authentic and local. There is no charge to the public to attend Bockfest and we work to include all types of local businesses because our goal is to promote Over-the-Rhine, its rich heritage, and the people who live and work here to as broad of an audience as we can reach.

As a grassroots community event, many people, businesses, and neighborhood groups help organize Bockfest. Primary responsibility for pre-Bockfest events, the Parade, Bockfest Hall, advertising, general promotion for the event, the shuttle bus, content on this website, and fundraisers is through the non-profit Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation.
