According to our partners at WCPO, things really kick off around 10 a.m. Thursday with the arrival of the official Taylor Swift merchandise trailer that will be parked on Race Street just south of Freedom Way.

On Friday and Saturday, Swift fans will be “Taygating” from noon to 7 p.m. at The Banks, where the merch trailer will be parked, plus there will be a friendship bracelet making station, a hair-braiding station, a glitter makeup station and multiple food trucks.

There will also be phone charging stations throughout the area.

People not going to see Swift are warned that there are Cincinnati Reds games happening at Great American Ballpark both days and an FC Cincinnati match on Saturday evening.
