The weather this weekend is all topsy-turvy, with snow on Saturday and near-60 degree temps the other two days. Don’t you love Cincinnati? Despite confusing weather, we’ve got you covered for every eventuality with these weekend picks.

Cincinnati Home & Garden Show

The eternal Home & Garden show comes back once again, with over 400 booths and every single shopping item that vaguely fits into the category “home” or “garden.” (Seriously, I remember going with my parents as a kid and begging them to buy some sort of machine that could instantly turn chocolate bars into fondue.) The Garden Showcase is back, as are the several mini-homes constructed each year. Also this year is the “Ask a Designer” feature, pickleball courts, flower sales, and more. For literally any home need on Earth, this is the place where you can find it.
$13+, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, Duke Energy Convention Center, 525 Elm St, downtown

Bird Watching With Cincinnati Nature Center

If you’re feeling like braving the cold, head to Rowe Woods for a bird-watching hike with Cincinnati Nature Center. Registration is required to attend.
9 a.m., Saturday, Rowe Woods, 4949 Tealtown Rd., Milford

Maple Sugar Days

A family-favorite event, Maple Sugar Days celebrates the awakening of trees as they prepare for spring with the traditional technique of making maple syrup. Guests will learn how sticky sap from the maple tree is turned into the sweet delicacy we all love.
12-4 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve, 3455 Poole Rd, Colerain Twp.

Plant Swap at Erlanger Library

Have some plants you feel like trading for something better? What about any extra unused pots, soil, tools, seeds, or other gardening equipment? Take a trip across the river  to the Erlanger library for their plant swap event.
1:30 p.m., Saturday, Erlanger Library, 401 Kenton Lands, Erlanger

Toronto FC at FC Cincinnati

Can you believe FC Cincinnati is already back in season? Neither can we. But we’ve whipped up a healthy off-season guide for you, if you need it.
2:30 p.m.., Sunday, TQL Stadium, 1501 Central Pkwy., West End

Dracula with Playhouse in the Park

An all-new retelling of the most famous vampire’s story has its world premiere with Playhouse in the Park. A “bold, highly theatrical” new version awaits you all this weekend at the Rouse Theatre, and stars Adam Poss as the titular vampire.
Various showtimes, Rouse Theatre, 962 Mt. Adams Circle, Mt. Adams
