Donation protected
Mind The Midwest (MTM), an events production agency, is thrilled to announce the launch of Cincy Knows Best (CKB) x 513 Day Festival, an arts & culture festival in Walnut Hills celebrating Cincinnati’s heritage, local talent, and cultural diversity.

The festival, slated for May 11th-13th, aims to boost local businesses, activate Walnut Hills foot traffic, and contribute to continued development efforts through post-festival analysis. With a focus on five pillars – art, music, history, culture, and cuisine – and a mission to spotlight Cincinnati’s talent, the festival promises a vibrant experience for attendees.

Rooted in the goal to platform Cincinnati's talent, the CKB Festival aims to stand as a testament to the city's rich tapestry of culture, talent, and diversity.

Imagine a weekend filled with the melodies of local musicians, voices of the community, the canvas of artists telling their story in the name of the festival's theme Ubuntu “I am because we are” while the aroma of diverse cuisines fills the air. This is the vision we hold dear, a vision that celebrates the essence of Cincinnati and the creative souls that call it home.

But to transform this vision into reality, we need your support. We are reaching out to raise $3,500 to ensure that the CKB Festival blossoms into an unforgettable experience for all. Your contribution will enable us to provide a platform for local artists, musicians, chefs, and creatives to showcase their talents, enriching our community and fostering connections that transcend boundaries.

By supporting the CKB Festival, you are not merely donating to an event; you are investing in the cultural heartbeat of Cincinnati. You are empowering creativity, innovation, and inclusivity. Together, we can make a profound impact on the lives of artists and the vibrancy of our city.

Join us in shaping the future of Cincinnati's cultural landscape. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our goal. Let's stand united in our commitment to celebrate the beauty of diversity and creativity.

Please consider making a donation today to support the Cincy Knows Best Festival. Together, let's empower creativity and make a lasting difference in our community.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Mind the Midwest
