The Bunbury Music Festival was a three-day music festival in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, at Sawyer Point Park & Yeatman's Cove on the banks of the Ohio River. Each annual event typically featured over 100 acts performing on three to six separate stages through the park. The festival was founded by MidPoint Music Festival co-founder and former Fountain Square managing director Bill Donabedian. The festival's inaugural event took place July 13–15, 2012.[3] In 2014, Bunbury was purchased by PromoWest Productions, an entertainment company operating out of Columbus, Ohio.

The most recent iteration of the event occurred May 31 through June 2, 2019. The 2020 festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the organizers have said that the event "will not be returning in the way that you all have grown to know it and love it".[4]
