Beyond Belief

The Greater Cincinnati’s interfaith community comes together once during the fifth annual Festival of Faiths. This week-long, hybrid celebration, July 31 – Aug. 7, includes meaningful, entertaining, and educational programming.

“Compassion Through Action: Working for the Common Good” is this year’s them, with a focus on community and unity throughout the week. The festival culminates in an in-person festival on Aug. 7, at Xavier University’s Cintas Center with cultural foods, merchandise, youth and adult activities, faith-based exhibitors, cultural and ethnic music, and entertainment.

EquaSion, the hosting organization, has assembled an outstanding committee working with sponsors and faith-based groups from all over the region. This year’s festival co-chairs, Penny Pensak, Afreen Asif, and Bishop Marvin Thomas Sr. lead a dedicated group composed of members of diverse backgrounds.

All events and programs are free and open to the public, but advanced registration is required for the virtual events.
