We’re springing ahead with an eventful week highlighted by once-a-year celebrations – Easter Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day and the Cincinnati Zoo’s festival of flowers. But there are other options for those of us seeking a cultural fix, including several tasty musical treats.
Quick quiz: Which of these things does not belong with the others? Jazz harp. A sharp-eared fox. An extra day. Thirsty goats. A Sausage Queen. A pot of stew. A pile of food cans. And plenty of beer … Answer: They all belong, of course, in this week’s Culture FIX of varied, intriguing and sometimes unpredictable events.
This week’s FIX choices are pretty music-heavy. Still, there’s plenty of variety here, and some of these music events appeal to various other senses, even the sense of smell. You read that right.
Here at Movers & Makers, we like to focus on the area’s top cultural and philanthropic happenings, and that often means pretty sophisticated events geared for grown-up audiences. But how about the kids? And how about that party with 700,000 of your closest friends?
It’s easy to assume that, with the last blast of Labor Day Weekend behind us, fall has arrived. Well, not quite. The weather is saying otherwise, and the autumnal equinox doesn’t arrive until Saturday, Sept. 23. Let’s not rush things.
A long-dead artist, a terrible opera singer, a friendly but homesick alien and a Man in Black walk into a bar . . . Well, wait a minute. Actually, they’re walking into Culture FIX this week. There’s no punch line here, just another varied, unpredictable week full of activity in Cincinnati’s arts and culture scene.
You’d think mid-August would bring a huge lull to Culture FIX. But summer arts series are still in high gear, new art exhibits are opening, and even some “fall” seasons are underway. There’s lots to do!
Summer temperatures might be wafting down, but the Cincinnati arts and culture scene is still hot, hot, HOT! The Queen City’s plate is heaped with diversity this week. You can shop or paddle or read and there’s always something interesting to eat. (Goetta is “interesting,” I’ll give it that). Load up your calendar and enjoy!
Here comes the scorch. You knew it would arrive eventually, right? Whether you want to hide away or embrace the heat, choices aplenty, below. Maybe try a balanced approach – some inside, some out? Either way, we hope to see you somewhere out and about in the coming days.
Arts and culture never take a vacation in the Queen City. From blues and gothic to jazz and Shakespeare there’s something for everyone! So, dig out your concert finery or a pair of favorite jeans and find something to enjoy!
