Music at the Esplanade

What is this?

Turn up your Saturday nights with Music at the Esplanade, the free concert series bringing Smale Riverfront Park to life all summer long! Each week, the riverfront fills with the sounds of live music, the delicious smells of local food trucks and the buzz of a community ready to kick back and have fun. Grab a drink, find a spot on the lawn and catch a different band every Saturday — all against the stunning backdrop of the Cincinnati skyline. 2026 Music at the Esplanade Artists Lineup: June 6 - Sweet Peas June 13 - The Foles June 20 - Acoustic Abuse June 27 - Tracy Walker July 11 - Vudu Childe July 18 - Chris Caporale July 25 - Push Play Aug. 1 - Knowrulz Aug. 15 - Alex Scheft Aug. 22 - Deej Aug. 29 - Temani
