Everybody has their own parameters for summer these days. Schools are gradually starting earlier every year, so many students’ “last day of summer” was in early August, while the calendar says it’s not until Sept. 22. But if you declare summer as “everything before Labor Day,” this is the last weekend of the season. And it seems like many “summer” music festivals are coming in just under the wire — this weekend sees the return of several fests (Ohmstead, Whispering Beard Folk Festival, Swinefest, Taste of Blue Ash), as well as the debut of a brand new one — the Feywill Music Festival, which shines a spotlight on some of Greater Cincinnati’s finest original artists Friday-Saturday at various venues in Covington’s MainStrasse Village.
Organized by local music promotional group Speed of Sound (located in Covington) in conjunction with the MainStrasse Village Association, Feywill’s outdoor stage at Goebel Park begins at 5 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, while the music in the eight participating clubs begins at 10 p.m. both nights. Admission is $5 for Friday and $7 for Saturday, but you can also pick up a two-day pass at the fest on Friday for $10.
