Taking place today from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. on the West Bank of the Flats, this annual music and arts festival also includes food vendors, warming tents, ice carving presentations and even fire dancers. The festival began back in the Flats near what is now Merwin's Wharf. Organizers had to learn a few hard lessons — the event took place in the midst of a blizzard in Year 1 — before they were able to turn the fest into the well-oiled machine it has become. For the next four years, Brite Winter took place in Ohio City before moving in 2016 to its current location, where it's been hugely successful. Admission is free, but tickets are required.
