Who said fun events only happen during the weekends? We’ve decided it’s high time we featured some of the cool stuff you can do during the work week too! Here’s what’s going on in Cincinnati this week.
MONDAY DECEMBER 11
Mascot Mondays: Mr. Redlegs and Rosie Red
Time to combine two of our favorite things—ice skating and the Reds. On Monday December 11 only, you can skate with Rosie Red and Mr. Redlegs at the Summit Park ice rink. It’s never too early to prepare for baseball season. 5:30–7 p.m., Summit Park, 4421 Glendale Milford Rd., Blue Ash
Manuel Iris Writer-in-Residence Reception
Celebrate the 2023 Cincinnati Public Library Writer-in-Residence, Manuel Iris, as his tenure comes to an end. Hear Iris’s award-winning poetry showcased, then stick around for the reveal of next year’s Writer-in-Residence. 6–8 p.m., Walnut Hills Library, 2533 Kemper Ln., Walnut Hills

Incredible Arthropods with The Bug Chicks
Get up close and personal with some bugs at the Avondale Library. The Bug Chicks, two entomologists who’ve made it their life’s mission to teach people about arthropods, will show off their live bug zoo to anyone who’s insect-obsessed. They may even make insect lovers out of insect-phobes by the end. 5–6 p.m., Avondale Library, 3566 Reading Rd., Avondale
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 13
Taylor Swift Birthday Party at Alice
Attention all Cincy Swifties—Alice is entering its Taylor Swift Birthday Party era. Special themed cocktails will be served as you dominate trivia and Shake If Off during DJ Boywife’s dance party. Stick around because the festivities will go all night. 6 p.m., Alice, 1432 Main St., Over-the-Rhine

Spend the seventh night of Hanukkah ice skating on Fountain Square. The Mayerson JCC will host the festivities, which include a menorah lighting at 7:30 p.m. and free sufganiyot (jelly donuts).
