The festival kicks off Friday, May 22nd and runs through Monday, May 25, taking over its usual stretch along Fifth Street between Main Street and Sentinel Street.

Organizers say the added day gives people more time to experience everything the event has to offer.

“Taste of Cincinnati is one of the city’s signature events — and adding Friday night is about giving people even more time to experience the food, the music and the community that make this festival so special. We can’t wait to welcome everyone downtown for four incredible days,” said Chelsea York, Vice President of Events and Experiences for the Cincinnati Regional Chamber.

The festival will feature more than 65 restaurants, food trucks and Findlay Market vendors, serving up over 300 menu items throughout the weekend.

Admission is free.
