Best Time to Fly to Cincinnati, OH
From May till September is summer season in the city and it’s considered the best time to visit. The city’s biggest festival takes place over Labour Day weekend in early September; Riverfest is known for its famous waterfall and spectacular fireworks, and it attracts thousands of visitors each year. It’s quieter from March to May and the Appalachian Festival in May marks the start of the summer crowds. Oktoberfest in the Over-the-Rhine district marks the end of summer and the start of the quieter autumn period. Christmas is also a wonderful time to visit and events like the PNC Festival of Lights at the city’s zoo are popular.
School vacations, warm sunny days and lots of events make May till September a busier time to visit, and fares to the city are higher during this peak season. Lower fares can be found during the winter months, although Christmas and New Year are traditionally peak times too. The shoulder season months of March till May and October to November are quieter and also when it’s cheapest to visit.
