Summerfair Cincinnati returns to Coney Island in June

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Summerfair Cincinnati, a mixed media art festival, returns to Coney Island this summer for its 56th year.

People can meander around the local amusement park from June 2-4 to view the work of over 300 artists.

Each artist’s work falls into at least one of 12 categories: Photography, painting, drawing/printmaking, wood, metal, sculpture, glass, ceramics, fibers, leather, jewelry and 2D/3D mixed media.

Summerfair started out as a small art fair as a tribute to the opening of Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park. It has since grown into one of the oldest continuous art fairs in the country, attracting more than 20,000 art enthusiasts every year.

Throughout its history, the annual event has raised more than $2 million for the regional arts community.

Multiple musical artists are scheduled to perform that Saturday and Sunday. The schedule is listed below.

Tickets for Summerfair can be purchased for one-day or multi-day admission.

One-day tickets are $10 and multi-day tickets are $15. Children 12 and under can get in for free.

Summerfair is open June 2 from noon to 7 p.m., June 3 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and June 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
