Eden Park visitors can enjoy a free performance from Cincinnati Ballet next weekend.

The Ballet is partnering with Cincinnati Parks Foundation to put on a free performance alongside two “wellness walks” on Saturday, May 23.

The evening will celebrate the connection between wellness, creativity and the outdoors through dance, walking and guided conversation as part of the award-winning Cincinnati Parks + Rec for Wellness, an initiative powered by the Osher Center for Integrative Health at the University of Cincinnati. The event is presented as a gift to the community from The Women’s Committee of Cincinnati Parks in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

Before the performance, guests may join an optional guided wellness walk led by Dr. Barbara Walker of the Osher Center at 4 p.m., following the performance with Derek Scacchetti with Urban Rangers at 7 p.m., or explore the self-guided route around Mirror Lake and Tom Jones Commons at their own pace. Along the way, interactive signage with QR codes will demonstrate ballet-inspired movements for participants to try themselves before experiencing the Ballet performance at 5 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public.
