Opening Day on the Square

GBC is hosting an all day party on Fountain Square for the Reds Opening day, Monday April 5th. From the Square, you can watch the traditional Findlay Market Opening Day Parade pass by. If you don't have tickets to the game, stay to watch the Reds play the St. Louis Cardinals at 1:10pm on the Fountain Square video screen. Come celebrate this Cincinnati tradition on the Square with live music, food, and Christian Moerlein beer.

We are looking for volunteers!  Are you available to help out for a few hours?  Sell food, beverages, or such... follow the link below to sign up to help.  Thank you!  If you cannot volunteer, we hope you will swing by to watch the game or the music afterwards.

Community Immersion - Walnut Hills

Walnut Hills is rich with arts and culture, history and philanthropy.  With names like Harriett Beecher Stowe, a former resident and Andrew Carnegie, who funded the library, there are deep roots in the historical foundation.  And community organizations like the soup kitchen at the Geiger House, the recycling and sustainability efforts at the Work Resource Center and the youth engagement program between the YMCA and Camp Ernst, are dedicated to maintaining the community’s heart and soul. And through businesses like Amphora Studios, a pottery co-op and The Monastery, a church converted into a recording studio by an original member of the band Over The Rhine, Walnut Hills is alive and well in their arts and culture. 

 

Join us on April 10th as we explore these unique stories of Walnut Hills and learn more on the revitalization efforts that we touched upon during the Sounding Sessions in February.  In addition, we will also take one hour of the day to get our hands dirty with a clean-up project in the community.  Lunch will be provided and we will end the day with a community block party!  We hope you can join us!
