Looking for an old-fashioned good time this weekend? Head over to Pleasant Ridge for Ridge Day and Night, an annual celebration featuring food trucks, live music and more than 40 vendors.

Ridge Day is a longstanding community celebration in the city’s Pleasant Ridge neighborhood with the feel of a family festival. The goal is to raise funds for the Pleasant Ridge community council, give neighbors an opportunity to visit with one another, and celebrate a pleasant neighborhood.

The day begins with the Ridge Day Children’s 1 Mile Run. A family-friendly, child-focused one-mile race that begins at 11 a.m. at All Saints Episcopal Church Cincinnati, 6301 Parkman Place. The $10 registration fee supports Community Happens Here's neighborhood-based mission. After the race, coffee, donuts, and snow cones will be provided at Community Happens Here, 6238 Montgomery Road.

There’s plenty to eat with Food Trucks (Twisted Greek, Queensofthecrop3 & Streetpops) on site!

Sip on your fav Rhinegeist & Nine Giant brews, shop from 40 vendors and much more.

Other local businesses particapating in Ridge Day include Terps Smokeshop & Gallery, Fine Wine O’Clock, Queen City Comic and Card Company, and LaRosa’s, with beer from Rhinegeist and Nine Giant Brewing.

Entertainment begins at 4 p.m., with Cincinnati Kung Fu, followed by Akela Island Dance and Anaya Belly Dance. The fun continues with live bands after that.
