SPRING

Explore the wonder of nature’s rebirth at the Krohn Conservatory every spring and its award-winning butterfly show. Or spend a day witnessing the Cincy Region bloom along the Ohio River Scenic Byway. See the seven historic bridges as you drive or motorbike along the winding roads of this stunning stretch of riverside real estate.

In April, make plans to attend the Cincinnati Reds’ Opening Day, as America’s first baseball team takes the field at the Great American Ball Park, and Cincy celebrates with a parade and lively street party.

Cincinnati is one of the most prolific brewing cities in the United States, and that tradition is celebrated at Bockfest. This three-day beer festival in March involves historic walking tours, a 5k race, live music, and of course, plenty of delicious, locally made brews. Another celebration of the region’s distinctive heritage is the Appalachian Festival at Coney Island. Attendees can dance to old-time music, shop handmade wares, and chow down on regional favorites like biscuits and gravy, country ham, fried chicken, cornbread, and more.

Ring in the sweet sounds of springtime, as Cincinnati annually hosts the oldest continuous choral festival in the Western Hemisphere. Join the May Festival Chorus and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for two weekends of choral music and orchestration at Music Hall.
