Peebles Corner Festival - SATURDAY - October 3rd!

The Peebles Corner Festival is back on Saturday, October 3, and this year there are even more ways to experience Walnut Hills.


Join us from 11a - 3p for a day of live music, local businesses, artists, food, dance, creative activities, and community joy at Peebles Corner.


This year’s lineup includes performances from Siri Imani and Jess Lamb, Cold Sweat, and DJ Pillo, plus group dance with DANCEFIX, including a FREE line dance led by Trinity Carpenter.

New this year, the celebration starts before the festival and keeps going after it - with two FREE ways to get moving and explore Walnut Hills!


Kick off the day with the Peebles Corner Festival Run & Walk at 10:30a, presented in partnership with Pig Works. Choose between a shorter neighborhood loop or a 5K route, then step right into the festival when you finish. Register for the Run & Walk here or click the image.


Stick around after the festival for a community bike ride with Queen City Bike at 3p, touring neighborhood gardens and giving you another way to explore Walnut Hills. Register for the Bike Ride here or click the image.

Throughout the day, shop from local artists, makers, and small businesses, connect with community organizations, grab food and drinks from neighborhood businesses, and take part in free activities for all ages. Want to be part of the fun? We're still looking for volunteers! Sign up here.


Peebles Corner Festival is a celebration of the people, creativity, culture, and businesses that make Walnut Hills special. Bring your family, invite your friends, and come spend the day with us.


Come share in community joy at Peebles Corner!

Green Man Wednesday - Thank You!

This summer, Green Man Park came alive with another season of Green Man Wednesdays, evenings filled with music, art, food, play, and neighbors spending time together in the heart of Walnut Hills.


We danced. We painted. We made ice cream. We played. Most importantly, we gathered.


Across the season, Green Man Wednesdays created space for neighbors of all ages to slow down, connect, and enjoy the park together. This year also brought an expanded season, new activities, and a special America 250 kickoff in partnership with the Harriet Beecher Stowe House and the Walnut Hills Historical Society.

A huge thank you to Far-i-Rome Creative for design and event production; Market Wines Walnut Hills for welcoming us as a rain location; photographers @callmerideout, @daniel.iroh, and @shotbydubs for capturing so many special moments; Queen Mother’s Market and ArtsWave for supporting our expanded season; and all of the artists, activity partners, businesses, volunteers, and neighbors who helped make each Wednesday feel special.


Green Man Wednesday is presented by the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation in partnership with the Walnut Hills Area Council and the Walnut Hills business community.


Thank you to everyone who joined us this year. We’re already looking forward to gathering again in Green Man Park.
