Final Friday Festivities Expanding Across Over-the Rhine

WHAT: Building on the tradition started by the Pendleton Art Center 34 years ago, Final Friday will be expanding across Over-the-Rhine starting this Friday, April 25, from 5:00-9:00PM. Festivities will stretch from Pendleton Street to Vine Street, with participating businesses on Main Street and 13th Street and activations happening at Ziegler Park and Imagination Alley.

Final Friday is an artist-centric event that takes place on the last Friday of each month. Pendleton Art Center serves as a hub for this event, with their 200 in-house artists showcasing their work. Over 20 additional Over-the-Rhine retailers will be joining in the Final Friday tradition this month. Shops will host artists featuring everything from handmade jewelry, to photography, to live music and everything in between. Participants will be identified on the street by the pink balloons outside their storefronts. A full list of April participants is listed below.

Visitors can stop by Ziegler Park for music and food, and to pick up a map of participating shops. Ziegler will be hosting a pop-up from 10th Island Tiki Bar and Grill, a new restaurant coming soon to Woodward Street

Families and those young at heart can join ROMAC at Imagination Alley on Vine Street for live music and free artmaking for all ages, courtesy of Artprenuer, ROMAC’s Teen Apprenticeship and Entrepreneurship Program.
