Northside is once again ready to claim its title as the place to be to celebrate the Fourth of July in Cincinnati.
After a two-year pandemic hiatus, the over-the-top Northside Fourth of July parade is back on July 4 and with it comes the weekend-long Northside Rock N' Roll Carnival.
This three-day festival takes place July 2-4 and features a line-up of local music, food and beer at Hoffner Park (4101 Hamilton Ave., Northside).
Multiple musical acts are slated to perform each day, with big local music names like Vacation, Carriers, Multimagic, Freedom Nicole Moore, Leggy and Culture Queer taking the stage.
