Bockfest is a FREE neighborhood festival that takes place throughout the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood and Cincinnati.

Getting to Bockfest

The best way to get to Bockfest is the FREE Cincinnati Streetcar.  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 during the weekend. Available parking can be found HERE. Our suggestion is to park at the the Central Riverfront Garage below the Moerlein Lager House, and hop on the streetcar to Over-the-Rhine.

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.

Please respect our neighbors and do not park illegally blocking sidewalks, parking lots, or where signs state no parking.
