The experience
What's special
Bunbury Music Festival was a multi-stage, multi-genre, multi-day festival held on Cincinnati's riverfront at Sawyer Point, running from 2012 through the late 2010s. It paired rock, pop and indie headliners with downtown waterfront views of the Ohio River.
What people love
Former attendees remember Bunbury fondly for its riverfront setting at Sawyer Point and for strong, varied lineups, recalling standout headliner sets and an easygoing waterfront atmosphere.
Last time around (2019)
The last edition was the 8th annual festival in June 2019, remembered by reviewers as one of the strongest yet for its music, vendors and weather. The festival has not returned since and is now listed as permanently closed, and former attendees have publicly called for its revival.
