Mark your calendar and get ready to roar, Cincinnati. On August 22, Surprise Surprise is throwing The Orange & Black Bash, a Dey-long festival of Cincinnati football, fashion & fun. It takes place at Braxton Brewing (Factory 52 location) and The Gatherall.

Come dressed in your favorite Bengals gear or in orange and black, because we're throwing a celebration fit for a Super Bowl run. Join the Running of the Tigers, a fun run hosted by Cincy Run Club, grab the hottest gameday fits at the Tiger Stripes market featuring Well Made Vintage and 30 vendors, participate in fan competitions, the Saw It In Cincy Scavenger Hunt and the Joe Burrow Lookalike Contest, see the Sex and the Cincy dating game show, check out our 2026 Bengals season preview, bring your pup to take part in the Paws & Stripes Dog Costume Contest, watch our Strut the Stripes runway show, and enjoy mouthwatering food and drinks all day and while you watch the Bengals take on the Chicago Bears and move to DJs at our watch party. There's something for everyone, whether you just want to vibe or you're the biggest Bengals fan in the jungle.

There's a $10 minimum suggested donation for adults, $5 for children under 13 (give more if you can!). A portion of all donations goes to local charities.
