One of Cincinnati’s longest-running festivals returns for its 59th year.
Summerfair, the art festival featuring the work of hundreds of different artists, will once again take place at Coney Island this weekend from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening.
This year, over 340 juried artists created pieces to span 12 categories: photography, painting, drawing/printmaking, wood, metal, sculpture, glass, ceramics, fibers, leather, jewelry and 2D/3D mixed media. Along with the art on display, Summerfair features a slate of regional performers, as well as its “Gourmet Arts” area with unique food and drink.
What started as a small art fair’s salute to the opening of Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park has grown into one of the oldest continuous art fairs in the country, drawing more than 20,000 art enthusiasts to see and purchase the works of artists from across the United States.
Also available at this year’s festival is a new collaboration with The Cincy Hat, the charity hat brand created by Ted Karras, the Bengals’ 2025 Club Winner for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. The hats will be for sale for $35 at the Summerfair merchandise booth.
Tickets to Summerfair are $10 for single-day and $15 for the entire weekend. For more info, visit the official Summerfair website.
