BLINK Cincinnati — Night of Lights & Art
📅 Thursday, October 8, 2026
🕡 Meet at 6:30 PM
📍 Arnold's Bar & Grill — 210 E. 8th St., Cincinnati, OH 45202

Join us for BLINK Cincinnati, one of the country's largest light and art festivals!

We'll meet outside of Arnold's Bar & Grill at 6:30 PM. This will be our meeting point before heading out together to explore BLINK around 7 PM.

We'll spend the evening exploring BLINK throughout downtown Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine, checking out:
💡 Interactive art installations
🏙️ Downtown Cincinnati transformed by light
📸 Plenty of photo opportunities

BLINK covers a large area, so expect a good amount of walking throughout the evening.

Parking
Street parking is available around Arnold's, but BLINK opening night is expected to make downtown parking busy.
You can also check nearby garages and lots and reserve parking ahead of time through ParkWhiz:

ParkWhiz — Cincinnati parking near Arnold's

ParkWhiz allows you to select your date/time and see available parking locations and prices.
I'd recommend arriving around 6:15–6:30 PM to give yourself time to park and find the group.

Cost: FREE — BLINK itself is free to attend.
Come meet some new people, explore downtown, and experience BLINK together!
