Bend Fest The Bend in the River Music Festival is destined to become the music event on Cincinnati’s West Side. Held on October 4th (5 pm – 11 pm) & October 5th (noon – 6 pm), Bend Fest will feature 10 bands (from rock n’ roll to reggae to bluegrass and more!), Cincinnati’s favorite food trucks, MadTree beer, animal adoption from the SPCA, kids games, local artisans & small business owners, and celebrity bartenders (John Cranley, Carolyn Washburn, Amy Murray, Chris Seelbach, and more!). Price of admission is $7 for a one-day pass, or $10 for a two-day pass – the event is free for residents of Lower Price Hill and students who attend Oyler.

MUSE will perform in collaboration with MYCincinnati Youth Orchestra and premiere "State: A Testimony to Urban Appalachia." Composed by Nate May, "State" is a bold and adventurous musical experience. Admission is free but reservations are required. Click here for tickets.
