Uptown Cincinnati Debuts Bearcat Block Party

WHAT: The Short Vine Business Association, with support from UC Athletics and the Uptown Consortium, will bring a unique "tailgating" experience to college football fans for all UC football home games.

For each UC game at Nippert Stadium, Short Vine between W. Corry and Charlton will host a street festival featuring live entertainment, food, cold beverages and a few surprises.

The party starts two hours before kickoff and lasts until two hours after the final play. Couldn't get tickets? Watch the game on our outdoor big screen and don't miss a minute of the action.

WHERE: 2600 block of Short Vine in Corryville

WHY: With the construction of the UC practice fields underway, many UC football fans needed a tailgate area to call home. The Short Vine Business Association and the Uptown Consortium created a unique and exciting street event called the Bearcat Block Party. The event includes tailgate staples like music, food and drinks. Area lots surrounding Short Vine will be open for attendees to park their cars. Then, partygoers can take a short walk or hop on a convenient shuttle to the festivities.

DESCRIPTION: For each UC home game, the 2600 block of Short Vine will shut down two hours before the game and two hours following, for a street festival featuring live entertainment, food and beverages, and a few surprises. All Short Vine favorites along the block will also be open for business. Additionally, the Block Party will broadcast the game so attendees won't miss a minute of the action.
