Tall Stacks
This festival is held the 2nd weekend in October. Tall Stacks was first held as part of Cincinnati’s Bicentennial year in 1988. Because of the unique qualities of the festival, the Toronto Globe & Mail and the Chicago Tribune named Tall Stacks one of the top ten events in the world that year. The first Tall Stacks welcomed 14 riverboats and over 700,000 people to the city’s riverbanks for three days in October. Tall Stacks launched a legacy of pride in Cincinnati’s rich river history and rekindled the nation’s love affair with the steamboat. New to Tall Stacks 2003 is the addition of the Music, Arts and Heritage Festival, which builds upon the successful core of past Tall Stacks celebrations. It will highlight the music and culture that traveled the river on steamboats to new cities and towns to be introduced to people of different backgrounds and heritage. The festival will spotlight a montage of musical styles such as blues, jazz, heartland rock, gospel and Dixieland Jazz. For more information, dates and costs contact us.
