31st Sonder Brewing Bockfest - March 3-5, 2023

Bockfest is Cincinnati’s annual celebration of Spring, Over-the-Rhine's brewing heritage, and Bock Beer. It stumbles into its 31st year on March 3-5, 2023 in Over-the-Rhine's historic Brewery District and is presented by Sonder Brewing.
Admission to enjoy the Parade, bock beer, music, and entertainment at Bockfest Hall and official venues is FREE all weekend long. 
​
Bockfest Hall is located at Findlay Playground, 1811 Vine Street, Cincinnati Ohio while official venues are located throughout Over-the-Rhine and Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, it’s been a weekend of rain and sun, highs and lows, and of course some goats. In the end you, your friends, and your neighbors came out as a community and showed your love for this crazy little thing called Bockfest. We can’t thank you enough. Until next year...March 1-3, 2024.
