A bevy of terrifying choices might suggest Halloween is approaching . From “Rocky Horror Show” and vampires to “Friday the 13th” and dancing clowns, the Queen City is celebrating from top to bottom. You don’t celebrate all things macabre? How about some coffee or Shostakovich? There’s the full complement of lectures, jazz and theater. Something to suit each of you.
Location, location, location. Memorial Hall seems to be where it’s at along with an underground art exhibit, spelling bees, telescopes, ghost stories and Mozart. Want to wear your cool Jerry Garcia tie? We have just the concert for that. Theater, organ, film and Henny Penny, all at the ready.
As the stunning shades of fall are incredibly varied and textured, so goes our cultural life. From neon to Sinatra to East Asian art and everything in between, the choices are bountiful. Expose yourself to film, world-class lecturers and our own Cincinnati Pops in this burst of activity.
Get your fill of outdoor activities before the season finally cools down. Movies in the park, blues on the Square and Oktoberfest on the riverfront await. Intriguing lectures, great theater and a film festival also have plenty of empty seats that need you in them. Enjoy.
As summer winds down, you might think there’s not much to do. We’re here to tell you otherwise. Washington Park is where its at with blues, jazz and film. Visual art is abundant. Blue Ash/Montgomery Symphony and Kentucky Symphony play holiday tunes and Playhouse in the Park opens its season.
Jazz, poetry, food, tributes, films, orchestras and an author talk. Even in the dead of summer there is still plenty to fill up a week. Check out some unique venues, Krippendorf Lodge, Woodward Theater, Sorg Opera House, Memorial Hall, Union Terminal or the Mercantile Library. Let history be your guide.
This week has a little bit of everything. Inside, outside. Jazz, classical. Ohio, Kentucky. Water, land. kids, adults. Film, theater. Pick your favorites or try something new. The only requirement is to have a great time. Easy to do in these parts. Have a wonderful week. Try to stay cool.
The Queen City is hopping this week, with goings on from Covington to Lincoln Heights. Cincinnati Opera raises the curtain on “Fiddler on the Roof.” Get your fill of goetta in Newport. The Sign Museum is lit up. Queen City Clay is fired up. The Mercantile hosts author Katie Yee and Patsy Cline is “Walkin’ After Midnight.” Have fun.
If you thought there would be a lull in cultural enrichment during the holiday weekend, think again. Patriotic music. Some great jazz in our great parks. A reading of the Declaration of Independence. Cool indoor alternatives at the Woodward Theater and Mercantile Library. A walk-and-talk at spectacular Spring Grove Cemetery. May the Fourth be with you.
Visual art takes the stage this week with openings at Eisele and Weston galleries, while Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park introduces us to soundscapes. Good film is abundant at Cincinnati World Cinema and Washington Park, which gets a little “Wicked.” Open your eyes and take it all in.
