More than 250 menu items will be available, ranging from casual fare to fine dining.

“We’re proud, to once again, bring new concepts to Taste of Cincinnati, while still incorporating your longtime favorites,” Taste of Cincinnati director Cythia Oxley said in a statement.

Taste of Cincinnati shifts its location a few blocks this year to accommodate the streetcar route. The food festival will take place on Fifth Street from Main to Sentinel Street and beyond to the ramps of I-71 and Columbia Parkway.

The event will open at 11 a.m. daily, May 27-29.
