Get out of the house and into one of these events across the city

From mid-century modern finds to Broadway laughs and a season-opening soccer showdown, Cincinnati’s weekend calendar delivers design, culture and high-energy entertainment. 

20th Century Cincinnati Vintage Modern Expo (Feb. 20–22) 

More than 70 dealers fill the Sharonville Convention Center with mid-century furniture, art, lighting and design collectibles. Whether you’re searching for a statement piece or simply browsing for inspiration, this annual expo is a must for modernist enthusiasts. A portion of proceeds supports local animal welfare initiatives, making it a feel-good shopping stop, too. 

Shucked (Feb. 20–22) 

The Broadway comedy Shucked brings sharp one-liners, big musical numbers and plenty of heart to Procter & Gamble Hall at Aronoff Center for the Arts. The Tony-winning crowd-pleaser makes for an easy date-night win or lively group outing downtown. Multiple performances run throughout the weekend. 

Lunar New Year Weekend Festival (Feb. 19–22) 

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with cultural performances, food vendors and family-friendly activities at Factory 52. The multi-day festival blends tradition and community in one of the region’s newest gathering spaces — an ideal daytime stop before heading downtown for evening plans. 

FC Cincinnati Home Opener (Feb. 21) 

The Orange and Blue kick off their MLS season at TQL Stadium this Saturday. Expect a packed house, supporter chants from The Bailey and early-season energy in the West End. Even casual fans will appreciate the electric home-opener atmosphere.
