WHAT TO EXPECT

The event lasts four nights and it is totally free to all who want to attend. It starts at 7 p.m. each night and ends at 11 p.m. from October 13-16.

There is so much to do from Live Entertainment to food vendors, murals, light sculptures, performers, and so much more.

One mural that is being created for the festival will actually stay around even after the fun is over to grace the city.

Also during the festival, Greek artist Insane51 will be doing a mural with projections mapping from goDutch. Max Sansing will be creating a mural as part of the ArtsWave’s Flow Series with projection mapping from Cincinnati-based Chaske Haverkos. Cincinnati’s sister city Kharkiv, Ukraine, will also be honored with a mural from local artist Jenny Ustick.
In addition, there will be a slew of interactive light-based installations, including Empower’s “See Yourself in Light” exhibit in which participants can turn themselves into art using their own digital photo data, plus an augmented and virtual reality experience tribute to Breonna Taylor developed by Lady Pheønix in partnership with Cincy Nice and more.
