EXPERIENCE LOCAL

Grab a morning sip from one of Cincy’s local coffee houses, then head out for a little morning zen and exploration at regional parks like The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical garden,  Glenwood Garden, Devou Park or Miami Whitewater Forest. Check out Idlewild Park, home of one of the top disc golf courses in the country. 

Discover Newport on the Levee, then keep walking until you have the perfect view of the city’s gorgeous riverfront skyline.

EXPERIENCE CULTURE

Get your cameras ready and take a self-guided tour of Cincy’s unique public murals and installations across Over-the-Rhine, Downtown, and all the way to Covington, Newport, and so much more. 

While you’re out, head over to the Historic Music Hall to catch an evening show of the Cincinnati Symphony or Orchestra. And if you don’t want the evening to end, check out one of Cincy’s famous haunted houses for a spooky kind of fun!

EXPERIENCE FLAVOR

Whenever you’re ready for a bite, Cincy’s got the treats you’re craving. Make a chili stop at Camp Washington Chili, savor the local flavors at the Oakley Kitchen Food Hall or check out the historic Southern gem, the Tousey House Tavern. 

If you’re looking for locally grown fresh produce and farm products, swing by Findlay Market to see what Meet n’ Three is all about.

You can walk as much, or as little as you'd like. Park in Covington or downtown Cincinnati—there are event zones on both sides of the river and you can easily walk across the pedestrian Roebling Bridge. While there are detailed maps available, we recommend picking out a few zones ahead of time, parking somewhere centrally located, and then wandering with the crowd. This is a freeform event, with surprises around every corner.
