Stein Musikapelle, a group from Stein, Bavaria, in Germany, will be playing traditional Bavarian music on Fountain Square this weekend at Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati. More than 500,000 people are expected to attend Cincinnati's annual German celebration, which kicked off with a pep rally Friday night. Parking will be at a premium, Cincinnati Police Lt. Ray Ruberg said.
Buses arrive and depart the downtown area every half-hour.
