Take a BLINK Break at Music Hall!

Music Hall is beautiful inside and out. And during BLINK, we're opening our doors to everyone!

Step inside one of Cincinnati's most iconic buildings for BLINK in the Ballroom, a free celebration of music, art, color and creativity. Whether you're taking a break from the excitement outside or making Music Hall a destination of its own, there's something wonderful waiting inside.

🎶 Music that fills the ballroom. Trent Sims returns with nightly performances on the Mighty Wurlitzer, bringing favorites from Broadway, film and pop music to life.

🎨 Art that inspires. Explore Colorfully Yours: More Than Meets the Eye, a new exhibition by local artist Adoria Maxberry, alongside works by contemporary artist Zuri Ali.

✨ Picture-perfect moments. Strike a pose at the Friends of Music Hall shimmering BLINK selfie wall, and explore the returning Music Hall Botanical Model and illuminated arch installation.

And there's more! Enjoy coloring activities for kids (and kids at heart), a cash bar and the opportunity to learn more about the Friends of Music Hall and our work to preserve this Cincinnati treasure.

Best of all? It's FREE and open to everyone.
