## About

Operating continuously since 1852 in historic Over-the-Rhine, Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest surviving municipal public market and the culinary soul of Cincinnati. On the weekend leading into Thanksgiving, the historic open-air market sheds and bustling indoor corridors transform into a vibrant harvest festival. Families browse dozens of local Ohio and Northern Kentucky farm stands overflowing with late-season apples, winter squashes, Thanksgiving turkeys, artisanal cheeses, and fresh-baked pumpkin and pecan pies. Children can stop by the community craft table to create Thanksgiving hand-print turkeys and corn-husk crafts while street musicians play lively acoustic melodies. The irresistible aroma of warm Belgian waffles and roasted nuts fills the air.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Market concourses and outdoor shed sidewalks feature paved brick and concrete with curb ramps at all street corners. A compact stroller is recommended during peak morning shopping hours.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The Findlay Market welcome center and the Jane's event plaza provide heated, accessible restrooms with clean baby changing tables and seating.
• Age Suitability: All ages. Children love watching bakeries roll out dough, tasting fresh cider samples, and participating in free harvest craft activities.
• Sensory Tips: High sensory engagement with vibrant colors, lively vendor calls, fragrant food aromas, and cheerful acoustic music. Families wanting a quieter visit should arrive early between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM.
