Formerly beginning at the World Peace Bell in Newport, Cross the Bridge for Life has grown so large that we moved to the Festival Park Riverboat Row, Newport Riverfront area – to the left of the bridge - with the walk across the Purple People Bridge to the Sawyer Point side in Cincinnati and back to the festival grounds for additional festivities, including food, face painting and more. This ecumenical, family friendly event comes from over 30 Greater Cincinnati life-affirming organizations and churches united in providing this event. Upcoming major construction makes this area unavailable for this event for an undetermined amount of time.
While the event was conducted under the auspices of the Diocese of Covington and Archdiocese of Cincinnati, an ecumenical Steering Committee was formed in 2016 with representatives from various pro-life agencies, organizations and churches from both sides of the river.
Cross the Bridge for Life was a collaborative event sponsored by Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Life-affirming communities to raise awareness of the value of all Human Life.
