Summermusik honors America, veterans and pets, while some Irish guys blow into town. Stephen Sondheim and Lillian Hellmann take the stage. Mercantile offers up history on our 19th amendment. Like watercolors? Head to Mariemont or check out some jazz in Wash Park. Culture is never lacking even in the dead of summer in Cincinnati. Just don’t forget your umbrella.
Music, murder, mayhem and movies top the list of fun things to do this week. Agatha Christie and Michael Crichton have their moment, while Carmen (spoiler alert!) meets her maker at the hands of her jilted lover. Chamber music and art inspired by playing cards round out an exciting week of cool stuff to do.
Founding Father John Adams said that future generations should celebrate American independence “with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” Well, we’ve certainly followed his advice!
Memorial Day is past, the cool, rainy weather is pretty much over (for now), and it’s time to focus on summer arts and culture with a week filled with outdoor events.
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.
Well, the neighbors down the street put up their Halloween decorations on Labor Day weekend, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that some local cultural groups are starting October with spooky doings. But the week also brings big events that are more delight than fright. Let’s see what we can scare up:
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 the Ol’ Lefthander might say, we’re rounding third and heading for home, as far as summer is concerned. Way too many kids are already back in school, and Labor Day weekend may be a bit more than a head-first slide away, but there’s plenty of summer fun ahead this week.
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.
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.
