Update: Rosemarie Moehring, director of marketing at Music and Event Management, Inc., said Coney Island's amusement park area would not be called Riverbend Park, after an earlier version of this story said that it would.

Summerfair Cincinnati will return this year to its regular spot, the former Coney Island amusement park area, according to a press release from Game Day Communications.

The art festival will take place May 31-June 2.

The 137-year-old Coney Island closed Dec. 31.

Music and Event Management Inc., a subsidiary of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, purchased the theme park late last year and said it plans to transform the site into a $118 million music venue and entertainment campus. It will include state-of-the-art sound systems and lighting, adaptable seating arrangements, modern amenities and more.
