Northside Rock 'N Roll Carnival

Northside Rock 'N Roll Carnival Everything you need to know about the Northside Rock 'N Roll Carnival At Jacob Hoffner Park in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Northside.

The park pavilion will be transformed into a festive Beer Garden. A step beyond festival goers emerge into a captivating playground of the live music, fire-breathers, a drag or burlesque show (if you're lucky) and a carnival side show featuring sword swallowers and a bed of nails! It's rock ‘n roll and it unfolds inducing the flow of nightlife activity between Hoffner park and Northside’s dynamic and historic business district.
