The Bengals are heading to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles on Sunday, but there’s plenty of partying going on in Cincinnati all weekend.
This free party on Fountain Square takes it back to 1989, the last year the Bengals went to the Super Bowl. Dress in your best ’80s garb (think leg warmers, spandex, and big hair) to dance to DJ Diamond spinning the best hits from the era and enjoy a hot or cold drink at Fountain Square’s full-service bar.
Thursday, 4 – 9:30 pm, Fountain Square, 520 Vine St., downtown
“Do you know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby!” Fountain Square brings more fun and games for this Friday night party featuring tunes from DJ Diamond and a live band, plus drink specials and heaters by the full-service bar.
