Historic Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market and one of Cincinnati's most cherished institutions, welcoming more than one million visitors each year. Open Tuesday through Sunday year round, it is home to more than 50 full-time merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, ethnic foods and more.

Findlay Market is located in the heart of Over-the-Rhine, also known as "Cincinnati's Rhineland". It is the German cultural district of Cincinnati, Ohio. Well-preserved 19th-century buildings dominate this historic neighborhood, making it among the largest, most intact urban historic districts in the United States. This onetime working-class German neighborhood is now home to craft breweries, hip gastropubs, and trendy bars.
