Cincinnatians love festivals and we celebrate with them all year long. We organize festivals to celebrate restaurants, our heritage, and even goetta, and one of the most popular gatherings in town recently held its first event of the season, but there are still several more chances to check it out. Second Sunday on Main takes place on Main Street in OTR and is Over-the-Rhine’s oldest street festival.
