The Story of 365Cincinnati

Looking for things to do in Cincinnati? You’ve come to the right place!

Hi! I’m Bridgett, founder of 365 Cincinnati. In 2010 I set a goal to try something new in Cincinnati every single day for an entire year.

I came home each day, wrote about my experiences, and 365 Cincinnati was born.

At some point this idea went way beyond my own little adventures and became much more.

This site and the Facebook page (100,000+ strong) have connected Cincinnati lovers from all of the city, the area, and the country.

We’re all “hometown proud” – no matter where we currently live. And the site has given us all a place to come together in an effort to enjoy everything that makes Cincinnati the great city that it is.

Fast forward to today… we are still writing about all kinds of things to do in Cincinnati. From brewery visits to behind the scenes tours to theater to art to LOADS of great food, we hope to be YOUR online source for things to do in Cincinnati!

Take a look through the list below (our first 365 days) and peruse our site for ideas when you need something to do. I hope we’ll inspire you to get out there and enjoy this fine city we call home!
