You know it’s autumn when Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati rolls around. Mark the change of the seasons with some of the best German-style music, food and beer in the Midwest at this festival. The largest Oktoberfest in North America, Zinzinnati celebrates Cincy’s true party spirit with an abundance of fun for everyone—including the "World’s Largest Chicken Dance" in Fountain Square.

Found in Cincy’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, the Know Theatre of Cincinnati provides the Tri-State with contemporary and collaborative theater designed to be challenging, edgy and thought provoking. With some of the most evocative live entertainment in the Cincinnati artistic community, this small theater continues to grow larger each year.

First opened in 1925, Belterra Park Gaming remains the top thoroughbred horse racetrack attraction in Cincinnati. Located on the city’s outskirts, this 1-mile oval track has survived disastrous floods as well as the passage of time to become one of the best state-of-the-art racetracks in the country.

Join the aptly named Scenic River Canoe Excursions for an unforgettable water recreation trip down the breathtaking Little Miami River. One of the best places to canoe or kayak in the Cincinnati area, this tranquil little river is a bit out of the way, so you won’t be fighting high-volumes of traffic and will have more time to concentrate on the beauty of the waterway.
