Mark your calendars. Blink Cincinnati has a return date.

The festival will take place Oct. 17-20 next year, organizers announced in a press conference Tuesday.

Cincinnati USA regional chamber president and CEO Brendon Cull originally announced the return of Blink during an appearance on The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast in March.

Blink 2024 will be the fourth iteration of the art, light and projection-mapping festival held in Northern Kentucky, Downtown and Over-the-Rhine. The first occurred in 2017, followed by the festivals in 2019 and 2022.

Last year, Blink attracted over 2 million people during the four-day event, resulting in an economic impact of $126 million. The event also supported or created 1,687 jobs and generated $1.5 million in artist commissions, honorariums and fees.

Cull told The Enquirer he plans to build on the chamber's past successes with the next iteration.
