cold weather will be here before you know it, but there’s still time to go out and enjoy the Queen City. This weekend brings a local film festival, a celebration of one of the city’s most famous landmarks, a late-night art party, an adult book fair, a celebration of Asian culture, and more.
The industry-led, volunteer-fueled, “indie fest for movie people” is back for another go-round. Full of networking, parties, and (of course) lots and lots of movies, aspiring filmmakers and movie buffs alike shouldn’t miss out on the return of Cindependent.
Sep 29-30, Memorial Hall, OTR
Cincinnati Observatory: 150 Years in Mt. Lookout
The Cincinnati Observatory is the oldest observatory in the United States. Founded in 1843, it was moved from Mt. Adams to Mt. Lookout in 1873. (Fun fact: Mt. Lookout is called Mt. Lookout specifically because of the Observatory’s move there.) To celebrate, the Observatory is hosting a special fundraiser gala to celebrate 150 years in the neighborhood. It’s sure to be an out-of-this-world evening.
