BLONK CINCINNATI vs ArtsWave

BLONK is your unofficial ROGUE guide to BLINK Cincinnati Oct 8th-11th 2026, the free light, art, and projection-mapping festival that transforms downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky into an open-air gallery every two years. Pro tips: * Turn on Auto Updates. We will be releasing new exhibits, features, and bug fixes ahead of the festival. * Turn on location access (while using the app) so the map and attractions sort by what's closest to you. * Favorite anything you don't want to miss, and mark it seen once you've checked it out. * Favorite an event or live music set to get a reminder 20 minutes before it starts. * BLONK is word of mouth — share it with friends, so they can BLONK around and find out, too. FIND YOUR WAY An interactive map shows every installation, mural, and "rogue" attraction across the festival footprint, organized by zone — The Banks, Over-the-Rhine, Findlay Market, Covington, Newport, and more. Tap a pin to see what it is, get walking directions, and see when it's active. NEVER MISS A MOMENT Browse the full events schedule by day, filter for live music, and see exactly when and where each performance happens. MEET THE ARTISTS Explore the artists and collectives behind the installations — their bios, social links, and everywhere their work appears across the festival. SAVE YOUR FAVORITES Bookmark installations and events you don't want to miss, and mark the ones you've already seen as you make your way through the festival. WORKS OFFLINE Blonk's core content is built into the app, so your map and schedule work even without a signal — ideal for large crowds in the middle of downtown. SPOT SOMETHING WRONG? Every listing has a quick way to report a correction — a moved installation, a changed schedule, a broken link — straight to the festival team. Whether you're planning your whole night or just found yourself standing in front of something incredible and want to know what it is, Blonk keeps BLINK Cincinnati at your fingertips.
