BLINK®, illuminated by ArtsWave, officially kicks off with the Future City Spectacular presented by Skyline Chili Parade just after sundown on Thursday, Oct. 10. Featuring more than 3,000 participants and groups from across the city and beyond, the parade will step from the corner of 8th and Vine streets in downtown Cincinnati. The stunning and lighted floats, puppets, musicians, and performers will make their way down Vine Street, ending at West Freedom Way at The Banks.
