On Location

Local art lovers got good news last week, as Summerfair announced it would be staying at Coney Island.

When the closure of Coney Island was announced in December, many worried if the beloved art fair would need to find a new home.

But Summerfair Cincinnati and Music & Event Management Inc. (MEMI) have agreed to a partnership that will keep the largest annual art fair in Greater Cincinnati at Coney Island.

The first Summerfair in 1968 was held in Mt. Adams, to celebrate the new Playhouse in the Park's Robert S. Marx Theater. In 1977, the art fair first moved to Coney Island. After a few years along the riverfront in downtown Cincinnati, Summerfair returned to Coney Island in 1985.

Summerfair Cincinnati will be held May 31–June 2.
