It’s almost here!!! Are you going to partake??
IT'S BLINK WEEK!!!
Starting this Thursday, October 8 and running through Sunday, October 11, BLINK returns to Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The largest light and art festival in the country is celebrating 10 years since its debut!
Here's what you need to know:
Thursday's opening night is all new. Instead of the parade, "Ready, Set, BLINK!" takes over five blocks around TQL Stadium from 4 to 9 PM with live music, food, drinks, and interactive art. At sundown the lights officially turn on, followed by the "First Sight" drone and pyrotechnics show over the stadium at 8:30 PM.
A record 90+ artists are taking part, from right here in Cincinnati to Spain, France, Germany, Thailand, South Africa, and Australia.
More than 60 blocks of projection mapping, light installations, and murals stretch across downtown Cincinnati, Over-the-Rhine, and Northern Kentucky.
Covington is front and center. Look for the brand new Madison Walls project and more than 10 new murals painted right here in Covington.
It's free and walkable. Grab the official BLINK map and the ArtsWave app to plan your route.
We can be your home base in Covington all week! Come in, warm up, grab a bite and a bourbon, then head out and see the city light up.
See you soon.
