Night Market: Art and Poetry Edition at Findlay Market

Night Market is our annual free outdoor event where we stay open late so you can shop, eat and drink until the sun goes down. This year, we are combining our Art & Poetry event with Night Market to bring you the same bustling Outdoor Market filled with delicious food and drinks and tons of shopping opportunities in addition to a Poetry Slam and art-focused programming.

Market House Merchants and Outdoor Market Vendors alike will be popped up outside serving food and selling locally made products, and storefronts on both Race and Elm Street will stay open until 9 PM. There will be various interactive stations as well as live music all evening.

Programming:

Cincinnati Circus Company 6 – 8 PM
Strolling Magician
Creative Asian Society 6 – 9 PM
Free Origami Making Workshop
Open Mic with DJ Diamond at Race St. Station 6 – 7 PM ahead of the poetry slam

Poetry Slam @ Race St. Station in partnership with Quills & Queers
