The event everyone has been talking about since last year is back!! Free tickets for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s LUMENOCITY are available online starting Monday, June 9, at 8 a.m. from www.lumenocity2014.com. The expanded, groundbreaking free concert experience for the community in Cincinnati’s Washington Park takes place on August 1, 2 and 3, 2014. Capacity for LUMENOCITY is 12,500 for each of the three performances, a combined 37,500 over three nights. A limit of four tickets per household for either the Friday, Saturday or Sunday night performance may be reserved. Tickets will be issued until capacity is reached. This is a rain or shine event.
Up to four (4) free tickets can be ordered per household. Those reserving must select which day they wish to attend (August 1, 2 or 3). Tickets are not exchangeable to another day, even in the event of rain. LUMENOCITY will take place rain or shine.
