Tall Stacks Festival

CINCINNATI, OH—It was a fortunate timing that my wife and I were relocating to the Cincinnati area in the fall of 2006. I was in town looking for apartments and potential studio space for my photography business, when I happened to cruise to the downtown area to take a few photographs of the riverfront only to discover the Tall Stacks Music, Arts, and Heritage Festival was underway. The festival was held every three or four years with a gathering of river boats.

I grabbed a few photos and then continued on with my mission.

Unfortunately, 2006 was the last Tall Stacks Festival. There were additional attempts to hold the festival in subsequent years, but the economic times and lack of sponsors prevented the festival from happening.

Ohio River at Flood Stage

Cincinnati, OH—The Ohio River flooded in March 2011. I drove to Eden Park to see what it looked like from an observation point high above the river.

This was just over flood stage, not nearly as bad as the Flood of 1937, which was more than 25’ above flood stage.

Looking for festivals on the river

CINCINNATI, OHIO–Ohio River towns offer many different types of festivals, and I’m looking forward to attending a few. More than a few, actually. The types of festivals I like to attend are the ones that celebrate community, like the Appalachian Festival in Cincinnati, 2012 and 2014, held at Coney Island on the Ohio River.

Festivals are about culture, history and food. Is there one in your town? On the Ohio River?
