Newport Oktoberfest is returning in 2025 with a spectacular lineup of events and activities that promise to deliver an authentic Bavarian experience for all ages! Taking place from September 12-14 at Newport's Festival Park on the Levee, this year’s festival is set to be the biggest yet, featuring expanded attractions, new food vendors, and a full carnival.
Newport Oktoberfest has become a cherished tradition in the region, offering locals and visitors alike a chance to immerse themselves in Germany's rich cultural heritage and Cincinnati's German traditions. The festival is a vibrant homage to the centuries-old Bavarian tradition, where the community comes together to celebrate with hearty food, lively music, and good company. This event is set to bring a slice of Germany to Newport! For many, Newport Oktoberfest is more than just a festival; it’s a celebration of tradition, history, and the enduring spirit of festivity.
Food enthusiasts will be delighted by the array of culinary options available at Newport Oktoberfest 2025. New this year, the festival welcomes renowned vendors such as Schmidt’s Famous Sausages, Glier’s Goetta, and Taste of Belgium.
Entertainment is at the heart of Newport Oktoberfest, and this year’s event will be no exception, with two live music stages ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The Warsteiner Tent will offer a deep dive into the rich traditions of Germany with traditional music, Stein Hoist competitions, and the ever-popular Chicken Dance. Meanwhile, the Glier’s Goetta Tent will rock the weekend away with local bands, delivering high-energy performances that will keep the festival buzzing with excitement.
