CHRISTKINDLMARKT 2025 INFORMATION
Cincinnati’s brewing history runs deep — from Walker and Bavarian to Gambrinus and Klinckhammer, traces of their legacy still echo through the city.
Join us on a guided journey through Over-the-Rhine, home to the nation’s largest collection of pre-Prohibition brewing structures. Starting at the Servatii’s Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt at Cincinnati Lager House, we’ll ride the streetcar to explore hidden relics, historic saloons, and the underground lagering cellars of the Park Brewery.
Afterward, return to the Lager House and Christkindlmarkt for a beverage — included with every 21+ ticket.
Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt 2025 Commemorative Pin Honoring Munich Sister City Association of Cincinnati. Pins available at the Munich Sister City Association booth at Christkindlmarkt, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the non-profit organization.
