Title: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Pics Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2004, 07:53:02 AM Here are some pics of early on in the celebration.  It got much more crowded later in the evening.
This was very early on Friday, not too many people there yet. http://urbanohio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1124 Here was later in the evening, much more people, and still more come after it gets dark. http://urbanohio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1128 Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is the world's second largest Oktoberfest, second only to our sister city Munich.

So did you go down for that? Somehow, I completely missed that and didn't even know it was going on at all. Title: Re: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Pics Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2004, 08:02:05 AM You prolly missed it because there was a Bengals game that weekend. (Which they won!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
Uh, im trapped one state over, and I cant even drink there, so no, I did not go.  And yes, Munich is our sister city. http://www.queencity.com/sca/ Complete list of sister cities to Cincinnati: Liuzhou, China Gifu, Japan Munich, Germany Kharkiv, Ukraine Harare, Zimbabwe Nancy, France Taipei-Hsien, Taiwan Title: Re: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Pics Post by: Arrrhalomynn on September 20, 2004, 08:25:52 AM Oktoberfest is a german party, USA isn't german.

He has beerstiens and alot of other memorabilia and some pictures. It sounds like the place to be if youre ever in Germany that time of year. (It runs for a few months i think ???) Title: Re: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Pics Post by: Lord Nepenthean on September 20, 2004, 03:52:37 PM Quote Oktoberfest is a german party, USA isn't german. Conclusion: your oktoberfest sucks. Your point is a valid one, but you have to remember that Cincinnati is a VERY German town.... at least compared to other cities that aren't actually in Germany. Title: Re: Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Pics Post by: Hydrobond on September 20, 2004, 04:00:23 PM From the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Overall, about 467,000 Greater Cincinnatians reported German as their first ancestry in the 2000 census, by far the biggest country, dwarfing the Irish at 161,000. That was about 180,000 fewer people than the 1990 census."
BTW mike, the reason the Cincinnati area was the location for the first Hofbrauhaus outside of Munich was because of the sister city connection.
