Cincinnati’s food scene gets better each year with new, delicious restaurants opening up alongside longstanding favorites. We have family-owned diners tucked away in alleys, chili parlors scattered around the city, and fine dining options with stellar city views. With so many incredible opportunities for memorable meals, it can feel overwhelming to want to try them all. Thankfully, Cincinnati has an answer to this dilemma with our city’s extremely popular Taste of Cincinnati event, held each year during Memorial Day Weekend. This epic outdoor food fest is happening in just a few days and it’s a Cincinnati gathering that you simply cannot miss.
The Taste of Cincinnati is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year as our country's longest running free culinary festival.
There's a full list of participating eateries on the festival's website (linked below) so you can check to see if your favorite restaurant will be there. Even if it's not, make the trip down there anyway and try something new!
The festival also offers a section just for the city's best food trucks and historic Findlay Market basically sets up shop in its own area of the event.
Though the food festival is free to attend, this special event does require a purchased ticket. The concert includes stellar performances by The B-52s, Rick Springfield, and Loverboy. You can spend the day trying the best food in Cincinnati, and then relive the '80s with this awesome lineup. There are also activities and rides available throughout the weekend, making it a great family-friendly event.
