Nothing brings us more comfort and joy than our vibrant downtown and its festive events! Wander into the Land of Sweets with the Cincinnati Ballet at the 50th anniversary celebration of The Nutcracker in Cincinnati. The Company first performed the holiday classic in 1973, and beginning tonight they are treating audiences to ten days of special commemorative performances at historic Music Hall with Tchaikovsky’s beloved score performed live by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Experience the wondrous tale of a curious young girl named Clara whose dreams come to life when she receives a magical Nutcracker for Christmas. Joined by her Nutcracker Prince, Clara meets a cast of colorful characters. Reserve your tickets today and let the visions of sugar plums start dancing away!
Tonight, join the Contemporary Arts Center for a creative evening constructing Holiday Terrariums! The festive One Night One Craft event led by artist Kateri Sparrow invites ticketholders to dive into a hands-on mini-terrarium workshop where they will learn to design their own tiny world while enjoying refreshing cocktails. Don’t miss this opportunity to handmake a unique holiday gift or design the perfect botanical addition to your own home! Each ticket includes snacks, drinks, and all the art supplies needed to create a masterpiece. The workshop starts at 6PM!
Centrally located, Pilar is just steps away no matter where you are downtown, but the cocktails—and the restaurant’s subtly tropical vibe—could convince you that you’ve traveled much farther. Tomorrow, take an island escape to A Hemingway Holiday from 6PM to close. Enjoy live acoustic Christmas tunes from local artist Meg Kesceks and holiday-themed drink specials all evening long. The word is that Santa's trading his sleigh for a seat at Pilar this year...help him deck the palms!
Oh, the Who-manity! Saturday, bundle up and make your way to Ziegler Park for Merry Movies on Main featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The free outdoor holiday movie screening starts at 5PM and is the perfect opportunity to cozy up with your favorite lawn chair and a warm blanket, take a break from holiday shopping on Main Street, and enjoy complimentary popcorn and a delicious hot chocolate bar from Saturday Morning Vibes Cereal Bar. All will be welcomed with holiday cheer!
