Getting Here

Bockfest is a FREE neighborhood festival that takes place at a temporary Bockfest Hall and at participating venues throughout the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood and Cincinnati.

Bockfest Hall

Bockfest Hall is held at Findlay Playground, located at 1811 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

Getting to Bockfest Hall

The best way to get to Bockfest Hall is the FREE Cincinnati Streetcar. Get off at the Findlay Market/Race Street stop and walk 1/2 block East to Findlay Playground. The Streetcar runs Friday till 11:30P, Saturday 8:30A-11:30P, and Sunday 9:30A-9:30P.

There are a number of parking options in Over-the-Rhine and downtown that are along the Streetcar route. This is your best option for parking as weekend parking is very limited near Findlay Market and Bockfest Hall during the weekend. Available parking can be found HERE. Our suggestion is to park at the the Central Riverfront Garage below the Moerlein Lagerhouse, and hop on the streetcar to Bockfest Hall.

We suggest pre-downloading the Transit app which provides real-time updates along the streetcar route and the Cincy EZ Parking app to expedite payment at many parking locations.
