Summer is approaching, and that means the height of music festival season. Bunbury, LaureLive, Rock On The Range and Jamboree In The Hills are just a few of the better-known warm-weather fests in the state. The InCuya festival will add to the fun later this summer, with a two-day August run in downtown Cleveland.

The music continues into the fall and winter with fests like Snowed In and Ingenuity Fest.

Here's a guide to the remaining 2018 music festivals in Ohio.
