Cincinnatiâs weirdest beer festival to return in 2021 â with big changes 2019 Cincinnati Bockfest Parade (Source: Brian Planalp) By Brian Planalp | February 12, 2021 at 5:11 PM EST - Updated February 12 at 5:38 PM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Bockfest is officially on, but the eventâs 29th year wonât look nearly the same as its first 28.
Usually a raucous, three-day party featuring cultish characters, bizarre rituals and legion local businesses in Downtown Cincinnati and Over-The-Rhine, this yearâs event is all about keeping things safe.
That is, no Bockfest parade, no Bockfest Hall and, just to rip the bandaid clean off, no Sausage Queen.
(The organizers, as if to keep our bacchanalian hopes alive, tease you might see a goat or two around town that weekend.)
