Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week Returns September 23-29!

30 Things To Do in Cincinnati This Weekend (Nov. 24-26)

By Katie Griffith on Wed, Nov 22, 2023 at 10:16 am

Holy holiday season, Cincinnati. There are tree lightings and Winter fests galore this weekend. Markets on markets featuring The Grinch or Santa Claus are also aplenty. See Cincinnati Firefighters rescue Santa from the Cincinnati Fire Museum's roof or check out Milford's Main Street holiday celebration. Shop Black art on Black Friday and support small businesses on Small Business Saturday. You can probably complete your holiday shopping during this weekend's market events alone, so no excuses. Scroll down for our weekend picks.

To suggest a future weekend event for our weekly to-do picks, email CityBeat arts & culture reporter Katie Griffith at [email protected].
