Free and aimless we frolic from joy to joy: It’s Violetta’s life credo, but it could work just as well to describe the many events you’ll have to choose among this week. Drink up and enjoy the bounty.

What to Do/See/Hear | June 6-12
It’s another busy week in the Queen City, both indoors and out. You have no excuse not to find something completely enlightening, entertaining or both to do. I’ll even give you a head start on planning.
Community Nights on tap at Findlay Market
A variety of summer programming is on tap this season at Findlay Market’s biergarten, but Thursdays offer a new twist: Community Night @ Findlay Market. A rotating lineup of arts groups, community groups and nonprofits will showcase talent and provide entertainment and learning opportunities throughout the summer.
Artists of all stripes examine peace, justice
More than 200 visual artists, literary artists, musicians, performers and schoolchildren will participate in SOS ART 2018. Organizers describe the 10-day event as a showcase for expressions of peace and justice, a kaleidoscopic community view on the sociopolitical world.
Fests, fairs and outdoor fun in Cincinnati
Summertime fun is always close at hand in Cincinnati. It’s a rare weekend that doesn’t have a festival, fair or music event to make the steamy summer air sizzle. Here’s a Makers’ dozen of summer attractions that support our local creatives and charitable organizations.
What to Do/See/Hear | May 30-June 5
Astronomers and sticklers will tell you that summer does not officially begin until June 21. These people have apparently not experienced either Cincinnati’s arts scene or humid heat in late May and early June. To my allergy-clouded eyes, it looks like summer to me. Judge for yourself.
Summerfair makes a splash at Coney Island
The first weekend of June signals the opening of Summerfair at Coney Island. The fine arts and crafts show marks its 51st year with more than 300 exhibitors from across the U.S. The juried exhibition includes works ranging from ceramics and sculpture to painting and photography.
What to Do/See/Hear | May 16-22
By any measure, this weekend is one of the year’s best for the number and variety of happenings around town. Chalk it up to May, traditionally the transitional month from spring to summer and indoor to outdoor. Obviously, this year’s weather has skipped the “spring” part of that transition, but the events are blooming right on schedule.
What to Do/See/Hear | May 9-15
A lot of work (and money) has been put toward turning Elm Street into Cincinnati’s arts axis. How is that paying off? Well, four of our first five picks this week take place along a two-block stretch of Elm. And that doesn’t even count the CSO – and they’re playing, too. So park once, and enjoy often.
Celebrate Latino culture at Cincy-Cinco
Celebrate everything Latino and enjoy the biggest variety of tacos in town at Cincy-Cinco.
The 15th annual three-day celebration adds Tacopolis to this year’s lineup of music, dance and food events.
