Prost! Covington Oktoberfest returns this fall to the Northern Kentucky neighborhood’s historic Goebel Park. 

The celebration will span three days this year and will be free and open to all ages to attend. Visitors can look forward to enjoying live music, local art and food and drink vendors during the festival. 

The first event took place in 1979 and offered an annual party honoring the community’s deep German roots and culture. Covington Oktoberfest was revived by Braxton Brewing Co. in 2019, which will again host the event this year. 

See a slideshow from the 2019 celebration at Goebel Park. 

The party will run from 5-11 p.m. Sept. 10; 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Sept. 11; and 11 a.m-8 p.m. Sept. 12.
