Bring questions, concerns, ideas, or just listen. The police make their crime report at the beginning of the meeting and take questions too, a good opportunity to take advantage of the personal access. The bulk of each meeting is spent discussing topics relevant to the Northside Business District, hearing reports from NBA committees, and occasional presentations from those looking for NBA support/endorsement of their projects.
To inquire about getting your topic on a meeting agenda, please email nba@welcometonorthside.com.

*There is no meeting in July due to the tremendous amount of volunteer work put in to the Northside Rock n Roll Carnival (produced by NBA), in conjunction with the Northside 4th of July Parade (produced by the Northside Community Council).

Before I Die Festival
2025-10-18 09:00 - 21:00 | Gymatorium, 4222 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH, 45223, United States
The Before I Die Festival Cincinnati is inspired by festivals of the same name (there’s no trademark) in other US cities. We’re bringing our unique version to Cincinnati — shaped through the lens of death doulas, grief workers, mental health professionals, and advocates for green burial.
Our vision is simple but profound: to open a space where fear of death softens, wholeness grows, and honest conversation helps us live with greater clarity and love.
Our intention is to offer a Before I Die Festival each year and to expand our themes and topics as we get to know our audience. We would like to offer events throughout the year to provide a steady source of death education in our region.
​We invite you to join us and be part of our growing community: www.beforeidiecincinnati.com
