As we close the chapter on Cincinnati Music Festival 2025, we want to take a moment to recognize the heart and soul behind it all: YOU — our CMF community.

​

From cheering in the stands to dancing at Friday Flow, from celebrating Sister Keli at neighborhood events to sharing the CMF spirit online and in person — your energy is what makes this festival more than a weekend. It’s a movement rooted in joy, history, and hometown pride.

​

That’s why our CMF Community Shoutouts don’t stop when the music fades. CMF is built by the people of Cincinnati — the fans, the volunteers, the vendors, the creators, the dreamers — and we see every single one of you.

​

This week, we’re not highlighting one business. We’re highlighting the entire city.

​

Thank you to:

– Every local partner who opened their doors during Festival Week
– Every behind-the-scenes hero who kept the show running
– Every artist who brought soul to the stage
– And every single fan who showed up, showed love, and showed out

CMF 2026 will be even better — and brighter — because of YOU.
