We hope you are ready for Ezz Fest 2021!
It will take place on Saturday, October 9th from 10a – 2p. at the beautiful Laurel Park on Ezzard Charles Drive.
At the event you can share any opportunities, resources, swag giveaways, and marketing material.
We will also have food vendors, arts activities, family fun and live bands performing. This year will be extra special because a groundbreaking ceremony for the future Ezzard Charles statue will take place at 10a.
You will not want to miss this chance to connect with the community!
Look forward to hearing from you! This event will not be a success without you being a part of it!
Robert Killins wants to be a part of the change that is happening in his neighborhood. That’s why the West End resident is an organizer for WE Speaks, a plan to help make sure residents of all incomes have a voice in developments and investment in the area.

Take some of Cincinnati’s wealthiest people who, in a matter of months, spend a couple hundred million and build a major league stadium in one of the city’s poorest communities, and you have a recipe for a neighborhood ripe for change.
That’s the West End today, a historically Black community that has suffered from disinvestment for decades, but has remained a hub for homes and businesses.
There’s little doubt the West End will change — it already has. How that change will happen is the big question.
