#SHOWOFF TUNING FESTIVAL FREE#
Oktoberfest, which some local wags refer to as “Taste of Cincinnati: Fall Version” (or is Taste “Oktoberfest: Spring Version”?) is by contrast a more egalitarian free event celebrating the city’s rich German heritage. With predictably perfect September weather - for the most part - the past three weekends in the basin bore witness to three very different festivals at varying stages in their evolution: the nascent yet quickly growing Cincinnati Food + Wine Classic, the pubescent and always fine-tuning MidPoint Music Festival and the sprawling, middle-aged Oktoberfest Zinzinnati.īoth the Food + Wine Classic and MidPoint are ticketed events geared toward a target audience that could generally be characterized, respectively, as gastronauts and indie music lovers - although they’re really just a convenient excuse to have an insane amount of fun.
