Germania Maifest

Maifest is the traditional German celebration of spring. Each year the Germania Society raises a stein to the blooming flowers and warming weather with our own Maifest celebration — the most authentic in Cincinnati.

Our fest features traditional German food, including whole roasted hogs, ruebens, wursts, and delicious German pastries. We also have a variety of German biers, wein and schnapps, including homemade Maiwein, and local craft beer in German styles.

There’s live music (both German and American), dancing, and the crowning of the Mai Queen.

We have carnival rides, games for kids, as well as games of skill and chance for the big kids, including the Strong Man Pull and Blackjack (on Saturday and Sunday only.) There is also a Kiddie Corner.

Imported German merchandise and gifts, as well as local craft products will be for sale. And make sure you visit the spring flower market — just in time for planting!
