Our 2026 Cincinnati Music Festival lineup is officially out, and the momentum is already moving across the Queen City. As we step into a new year, CMF Connects is expanding its vision with a full season of events, collaborations, and community moments that carry the festival energy far beyond Paycor Stadium.

From neighborhood activations to local business spotlights to creative partnerships throughout Cincinnati, CMF Connects is where culture, music, and community meet — all year long.

 

This season, you can expect:

– CMF Connects pop-up events across Cincinnati
– New partnerships with local creators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders
– Behind-the-scenes looks at festival planning, culture-building, and legacy work
– Opportunities to get involved, volunteer, and showcase your work within the CMF ecosystem

 

The countdown to summer has begun — but CMF Connects is just getting started.

Stay tuned.
Stay tapped in.
And keep your eyes on what’s coming next.
