America's River Roots Festival

Our goal is to showcase the uniquely diverse cultures, cuisine and music of America’s inland waterways that distinctly shaped our nation through this wondrous ecological region. We will celebrate the origins of roots music with national, emerging and local artists across multiple stages, enjoy river cuisine presented by celebrated chefs, and highlight our unrivaled river culture.

The event gives area residents an opportunity to explore their heritage and history while connecting with our common river roots. The eclectic mix of music, culture, and culinary experiences along the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky world-class riverfront will attract regional/national visitors and international media attention to the region.

Saturday & Sunday, October 11 & 12 | 11am - 7pm Purple People Bridge
