Taste of Blue Ash: Neighborhood Event with Big Entertainment

Toyota and 700 WLW are presenting Taste of Blue Ash from Friday, August 22-Sunday, August 24.

Blue Ash is a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, located roughly 20 minutes from downtown. It is a nice community full of young professionals and families. If you visit Blue Ash during work hours on a weekday, you will find it a busy, fast-paced business district. At night, however, it slows down; most people go to their homes in another neighborhood, leaving Blue Ash open for activities, events, and concerts.

Live music performances, food, and family fun are at the heart of this neighborhood event. The event will take place on Hunt and Cooper Roads at the Blue Ash Towne Square. The event times are listed below.
