Every two years, Cincinnati transforms into a spectacular celebration of art and light. In fall 2026, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, on both sides of the Ohio River, will host BLINK from October 8-11.
For its 5th edition, the festival reaffirms its status as a leading contemporary art event in the United States. More than 90 local, national, and international artists, including French talents, will transform the city into a vast open-air gallery. Spanning more than 60 city blocks, BLINK brings together digital art, immersive technologies, light installations, and interactive experiences.
The festival kicks off on October 8 with the opening celebration, “Ready. Set. BLINK!”, around TQL Stadium. DJs, food & drinks, performances, and interactive installations will launch four nights of festivities.
After welcoming more than 2 million visitors during its previous edition, BLINK has established itself as a unique urban experience, where collective imagination reshapes the city and makes each edition a highly anticipated event.
