The 2010 Bockfest is this weekend!  March 5-7

 

Here is the official website:  http://www.bockfest.com/

 

There is also a thread about the Prohibition Resistance Tour.

oh awesome, i'd love to go to that -- the bonus is bock beer means we are on the cusp of spring!

I'll be there part of this weekend photographing the events. Hope to see you at the beginning of the parade at Arnold's! :)

I'm the tour guide for the historic church tour.  Come on out!

I plan on going to the parade.  :)  I wonder if Bockfest Hall will offer any non-alcholic beverages.  In previous years I didn't bother checking.

There are typically canned sodas and bottled water

Good.  In previous years I had no interest in the bottled water and soda.  ;)  It will be a little strange to not be trying the Bock this year, but there's always next year.

Note that the church tour will also include trips inside Cosmopolitan Hall (way cool) and Wielert's!

^ Yes, although it will not go in to First English Lutheran as the website says.

Great feature story Casey.  UrbanCincy also ran a brief introductory story today:

Did anyone find my driver's license?

The goat ate it.

This is the first time I can honestly say I remember everything that happened at Bockfest while I was there this weekend.  ;)

Mr. McMicken will have the official totals, but I can safely predict that ever single Bockfest record was broken this weekend with the exception of "most inches of accumulation of snow"

Despite not getting into 3CDC properties as planned, I thought the church tour went very well.  About 150 reservations with at least another 25 walk-ups.  It was probably too many but worked out OK in the end I think. A lot of people seemed to enjoy it.
