Street Banners
Cincinnati welcomes millions of visitors each year to experience all the region has to offer. Reach a broad audience of residents and visitors, generating attention to your event or attraction through the Cincinnati Business District Banner Program.
Street Banners
The street banner program is a great way to visually promote your special event or activity on the streets of Downtown Cincinnati. Street banners are centrally located in Cincinnati’s prime retail and business district, visible to thousands of office workers, shoppers, and out-of town guests.
Street Banners are administered exclusively by the Cincinnati Chamber. Banners are reserved for cultural and civic events or activities of general public interest. Banners may not be used for commercial advertising or to promote political candidates, parties or issues.
Banners can be reserved for placement for any length of time. View a map to see pole locations. You will work with the Cincinnati Chamber to find optimal placement based on availability. Reservations are confirmed in order of receipt based on availability of poles requested.
