On Saturday, June 20th, Over-the-Rhine's Gateway Quarter will serve as the backdrop for a unique new Cincinnati street festival. The corner of 12th and Vine will play host to 14 arts and crafts tents, 8 bands, a host of local food vendors, and undoubtedly a generous amount of Christian Moerlein beer. The OTR/Gateway Summer Celebration is an effort to bring some of the area's most creative minds together for a neighborhood block party like none other. Here's a full list of the crafters, bands, and food vendors involved along with short profiles of some of the event's participants...
