One of the most cherished summer traditions in Southwest Ohio is outdoor music, from single concerts to camping and music experiences.

One of the newest music festivals on the block, Waynesville’s Bellwether Music Festival set on the grounds of Renaissance Park, was to celebrate its third year this summer. The event, like most others, was canceled amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to control the spread.
