Park + Vine is celebrating six years of business as a local hub for things friendly to Cincinnati and the planet 6 to 10 p.m. Final Friday, May 31. Some anniversary years have well-established connections now common to most places around the world. We’re running with sugar, which is tradition in United Kingdom for celebrating six years

Here’s what we have planned:

ON GOETZ ALLEY
Scope out the Goetz Alley outdoor market behind the shop for things to eat from local food and produce vendors, and pick up information from local environmental organizations. Watch a movie projected on an alley wall while DJ Sean McCorkle spins vinyl records on the patio

Spring in Our Steps is this year’s partner charity. Find out more about this exciting local organization that’s bringing renewed attention to Cincinnati’s alleys and learn how to contribute valuable time and money

ON FRONT SIDEWALK
Contribute creative energy to an interactive chalk drawing art project in front of the shop while Bombshells of Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine knit shop Fibergé yarn-bomb street furniture

INSIDE SHOP
Inside, enjoy a feast from the food counter, along with La Terza Coffee hand-bottled iced coffee and local craft beer. Put your typing skills to good use with a typewriter game on typewriters from Wordplay Cincy, a creative writing center in Northside. Check out Michael Enzweiler “VERONICA” installation opposite the bar and help us capture the evening’s energy inside Digital Hype Group photo booth
