For four days every other year, BLINK lights up the Cincy region. This year’s dazzling event is set to take place Thursday, Oct. 17 through Sunday, Oct. 20.

On Thursday, Oct. 17, BLINK kicks off with the opening ceremony + parade commencing after sundown. Parade participants will light up the streets in illuminated costumes, carrying lighted props, puppets + luminous sculptures, and make music as they travel the streets.

Taking place in the urban core of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, the free event features large-scale projection mapping, media light, interactive light sculptures, and murals.

Designed to be seen on foot, this walkable, immersive illuminated experience spans 30+ city blocks from Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati to Covington, KY. The festival features 80+ interactive installations created by local and international artists.

Part of the magic of BLINK is discovering new corners of the city. You can build your own curated experience by selecting which neighborhood zone you’d like to start, and which zone you’d like to end.

Pro tip: Take it slow. Visit one to two zones each time — and return for more than one night.

Be part of the magic.
