LABOR DAY WEEKEND
August 30 - September 2
Main Event (14+) is on the evening of Saturday, August 31, at the Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum.
Airport Information
Cincinnati’s airport code is CVG. This is important for when you are booking flights. Yes, it is in Kentucky. No, its not far from downtown Cincinnati (about 20 minutes). Yes it counts as going to Kentucky for those of you checking off visiting all 50 states.
You also may want to check Southwest, Allegiant, and Frontier separately since those all consider CVG a mini-hub.
LODGING INFORMATION
AirBNB Recommendations
Hotel Blocks
If you want to go the AirBnB route, we can help you answer any questions you have. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, we would recommend these neighborhoods:
Oakley/ Hyde Park - a great little neighborhood with lots of green space, bars, and restaurants to walk to. (Brooke and Jamie lived here for 4+ years).
Over-the-Rhine (OTR) - Cincy’s hip urban oasis of bars, restaurants, and shopping densely packed into a few blocks just north of downtown.
Central Business District/ the Banks- The heart of downtown Cincinnati and close proximity to the hotels where we have blocks reserved. Take a stroll by the river or check out Fountain Square.
Eden Park/ Mount Adams- Just up the hill from downtown, you'll be close to our favorite park in the city and the art museum (admission is free!). There are plenty of walking paths to explore with a great view.
Mount Lookout/ Columbia Tusculum- The closest neighborhood to Saturday night's party. The former home of Brooke's favorite dive bar and full of great restaurants. Get a burger at Zip's!
Covington/ Newport- Northern Kentucky, but close to the venues and the airport. There are great restaurants and coffee shops along Main Street and fabulous old houses along the river.
We have a reserved block of rooms at two of downtown Cincinnati’s most popular hotels: Hilton Omni Netherland Plaza and the Renaissance Cincinnati Hotel.
Hilton Omni Netherland - $118/night - a block from Fountain Square, this hotel is all of your art deco dreams come true.
