Summer by the Ohio: Concerts, Markets, and Outdoor Fun (Jun–Aug)
Summer in Maysville, Kentucky is a season of sunshine, music, and outdoor celebration — a time when the Ohio River sparkles under long, golden evenings and the town’s streets come alive with energy. For visitors staying at Moon River Bed & Breakfast, summer offers countless opportunities to enjoy the rhythm of small-town Kentucky life just steps from your door.
One of the best ways to experience local culture is through the Maysville Summer Concert Series, held throughout June, July, and August at various outdoor venues along the riverfront. Local bands and regional performers fill the warm night air with bluegrass, country, and classic rock — perfect for relaxing under the stars. Bring a chair, grab a drink, and soak in the friendly, laid-back vibe that defines Maysville’s summer evenings.
Saturdays are made for wandering the Maysville Farmers Market, where stalls overflow with fresh produce, baked goods, local honey, and handmade crafts. It’s a true taste of Kentucky, and many guests at Moon River B&B enjoy picking up small gifts or picnic snacks to enjoy along the scenic riverwalk.
For a bit of adventure, take a riverboat tour or a leisurely kayak trip to see the Ohio River from a new perspective. The calm waters and tree-lined banks make for a peaceful experience, especially at sunset. Those who prefer land-based exploration can enjoy the Maysville-Mason County Recreation Park, complete with walking trails, disc golf, and open green spaces for family fun.
After a day outdoors, retreat to the cool comfort of Moon River Bed & Breakfast. Sip an iced tea on the porch, chat with other guests, and watch the evening settle over the 1888 Cox Row Houses. With homemade breakfasts and personalized hospitality, it’s the perfect home base for a classic Kentucky summer getaway.
🎶 Make this summer one to remember along the Ohio River.
Reserve your stay at Moon River Bed & Breakfast and enjoy concerts, sunsets, and small-town charm all season long.

My sister and I stayed at Moon River while we toured the historical sites of the area which are plentiful. Anyone interested in the history of this great nation should visit Maysville and the surrounding villages. Our room was spacious, our bed very comfortable, our host, Denny, Gave us good information and was very pleasant to talk to. Moon River is just a block from everything. You could not have a better location. We hope to return someday.
