Bernie Sanders campaign events in Cincinnati

Democratic Party presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders' July 29 campaign-organizing event in Cincinnati has been moved to a larger venue, according to his website.

The organizing event, originally set for MOTR pub at 1345 Main St. in Over-the-Rhine, will now take place at the nearby, 600-seat Woodward Theater at 1404 Main St.

Beer and appetizers will be served at the event. The event's Facebook page said, "We got hundreds of excited supporters coming. We have a great location, merchandise, and hype!

"Please brings your friends and family. This is when our movement begins."

According to Sanders' website, BernieSanders.com, the event reached its maximum capacity of 550 attendees Tuesday morning.

At least 11 similar gatherings will be held July 29 throughout Greater Cincinnati for the Sanders campaign, according to his website.

Event organizers thanked MOTR and Woodward Theater for allowing the venue change in a post on the RSVP website, adding, "MOTR and The Woodward have transformed the Cincinnati OTR area to create an amazing music scene! Let's have a pint and show our support for Bernie Sanders!"

Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, announced his presidential candidacy May 26, according to his campaign website.

A representative from the Sanders campaign did not respond to The Enquirer's Tuesday requests for comment.

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated Sanders would attend this event.
