There’s plenty to do this holiday weekend. Eat some spicy food, browse local art vendors, hike up one of Cincinnati’s seven hills, learn some outdoor science, and celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. at these weekend events.
Findlay Market’s annual Chili Fest returns to warm you up from the bitter cold we’re expecting this weekend—if you haven’t seen, there’s a high of 30 on Saturday, and it only gets colder from there! Head to the market for various spicy items like buñuelos, spicy cheeses, and (of course) chili that will make you forget it’s even winter time at all. $20 gets you 8 dishes from any vendor you like.
10 a.m. – 4 p.m., $20+, Sunday, 1801 Race St., Over-the-Rhine
