10 Fall Festivals in Cincinnati to check out this year

Fall is just around the corner, and we are most excited for all the festivals! Nothing beats a fall festival, and here in Cincinnati, you can expect more than apple cider and hay mazes (though we adore those just as much as the next guy). As we approach fall in the midst of COVID-19, we’re happy to report that many fall festival favorites are still happening this year — with increased safety protocol.

Today we’re sharing 10 Fall Festivals in Cincinnati to check out this year. Grab your masks and enjoy!
