30th Annual Bockfest

This longstanding beer fest in Over-the-Rhine rings in spring and celebrates Cincinnati’s German and brewing heritage this weekend. Its funky parade starts Friday at Arnold’s followed by a weekend of beer, food, history, and revelry at the new Bockfest Hall set up in Findlay Playground (conveniently located behind Cincinnati Magazine HQ). Find a more comprehensive list of Bockfest happenings here.

March 6, 6:30 pm, Heritage Bank Center, 100 Broadway St., downtown

Day of the Dude Pub Crawl

Dress in your best Big Lebowski–inspired apparel (bathrobes and bowling shirts are a must) and hit the bars on Bellevue’s main drag for this far-out pub crawl.
