This summer, Glier's Goettafest returns to the riverwalk: bigger, bolder, and more Goett-a than ever. What started as a small gathering to celebrate Cincinnati's favorite German sausage has become an eight-day riverfront tradition, drawing tens of thousands of fans for food, music, games and community fun. Thanks to the overwhelming support of goetta lovers across the region, Goettafest continues to grow, while staying true to its roots. Taking place over two action-packed weekends, July 23-26 and July 30-August 2, at Newport Festival Park, Glier's Goettafest will feature more than 50 unique goetta creations. Attendees can enjoy everything from goetta empanadas and macaroni and cheese to fried goetta balls and even goetta-inspired sweets. If it can be made with goetta, you will most likely find it here. “Goettafest has become something really special for this region,” said Kerry Schall. "What started as a simple way to celebrate a Cincinnati classic has grown into an eight-day festival that brings people together through food, music and community. The passion our fans have for Goetta is what makes this event bigger and better every year."
