The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area has many festivals to offer to all. Festivals are a great way to connect with your community if you are a resident and a great way to learn about a community if you are visitor. Most area festivals have free or low cost admission and make for a great way to experience Cincinnati entertainment.

The wide range of festivals that take place each year include:

Cincinnati Flower Show - Experience this acclaimed flower show held in the Spring at Coney Island on the banks of Lake Como.

Cincinnati May Festival - Visit the "the oldest continuous choral festival in the Western Hemisphere" where classical music is the name of the game for two weekends in May.

The Cincinnati Folk Art & Craft Show - Held in March and November, this isn't just one of your everyday craft shows, Cincinnati. This juried, invitational show exhibits some of the nation's most fanfared artisans representing 22 states.

Opening Day Parade - For years Opening Day for Major League Baseball meant a game featuring our beloved Cincinnati Reds. Even though that may not be the case now, we still put together one great celebration for our hometown boys with the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade featuring marching bands, classic cars, antique fire engines, and over 200 floats.

These are just a sample. There are many more events including a Cincinnati film festival and small neighborhood festivals to explore.
