Still looking for a gift for someone special? How about tickets to 1 Night, 12 Kitchens 2026?

The 2026 edition of this premier culinary fundraising event, benefiting students at Cincinnati State’s Midwest Culinary Institute (MCI), will take place Sunday evening, April 26, 2026, in the ATLC Building on Clifton Campus.

The 2025 event sold out, so getting tickets early is a good idea (and it’s OK to give yourself a special gift…).

The 1 Night, 12 Kitchens event features food from more than 20 of our region’s best restaurants as well as opportunities to talk to the chefs and culinary students as they prepare the amazing “small bites” and desserts you’ll enjoy.

General Admission Tickets are $125 each and include access to MCI’s teaching kitchens, exceptional food to sample along with many wine and beer options, a silent auction, and more.
Top Chef (VIP) Tickets are $200 each and in addition to the General Admission items include an exclusive reception with chefs at the Summit Restaurant, access to the Top Chef Lounge, valet parking, and much more.
