The Cincinnati Music Festival, previously the Ohio Valley Jazz Fest or locally known as simply the “Jazz Fest”, dates back to 1962. Originally an all-jazz show, CMF has blossomed into a 3-day extravaganza. It is one of the most anticipated music festivals in the region. Past performers include legends like Whitney Houston, Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Frankie Beverly, Usher, and many, many more.
In recent years, CMF has been accompanied by a street fair called “Festival 513” which takes place right outside of Paycor Stadium down the majority of Second Street. Festival 513 is free to attend all weekend and you can experience Black-owned clothing & accessory vendors, fried treats, street performers, and more.
