Since about 1855, the fair has been held each year on the weekend after [[Labor Day]]. The city incorporated the West Fest Street Festival in 2002, which has steadily grown in popularity.  The annual event features local food, various booths/activities, children's rides, and live music. The city is part of the Cincinnati Public School district.
