Do Zoot Suits Come in Toddler Sizes?

Your kids probably jump, jive, and wail most days anyway, so they might as well do it in tandem with the Cincinnati Museum Center’s 1940s Weekend. The museum will host a classic car show, live music, dancing, 1940s hair and makeup demonstrations, and a range of exhibits and experts, including this writer’s favorite, a vintage comic book display courtesy of Up, Up, & Away, the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest comic book store,” located in Cheviot.

And there are two events on the schedule that your kids will definitely love: The 1940s Children’s Storybook Hour (at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. on Sunday) and the fifth annual Cincy Lindy Exchange, a riotous retro-style dance show that comes with a free dance lesson.

Admission is free for members, or you can purchase a combo pass that includes admission to the Cincinnati History Museum and all of the 1940s weekend activities. A complete schedule of the weekend’s events is available on the Cincinnati Museum Center’s website.

Aug 9 & 10, Cincinnati Museum Center, 301 Western Ave., Queensgate, cincymuseum.org
