“…and we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world!”

This year’s World's Largest Chicken Dance at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is not throwing away its show, as the cast of HAMILTON steps in to lead the dance.

Cast members will take the stage in front of tens of thousands of people in on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 5:30 p.m. on the Turfway Park Main Stage, at Second and Elm Streets.

Saturday also marks a new name for the dance. The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber is renaming of the World’s Largest Chicken Dance in honor of longtime Chamber employee and local media legend Rich Walburg. Walburg was the Chicken Dance’s biggest fan and had a hand in booking some of the most popular grand marshals over the years.

After leading the chicken dance at Oktoberfest, the cast heads back to the Aronoff Center, where HAMILTON is playing through Oct. 2, as a part of Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Cincinnati’s season presented by TriHealth.
