A few months back, I bought a Groupon for discounted tickets to Old West Festival. We’ve been wanting to check it out for a couple of years now. Our Groupon was about to expire tomorrow. So today, we finally got to experience Old West Festival. It’s located all the way out in Williamsburg on the east side of Cincinnati. But it was a pretty easy drive and we were there before we knew it…
Our Groupon was for a Sheriff Admission, which came with these Old West Festival souvenir mugs…
It was a really fun afternoon. We wandered around in and out of all the little shops, listened to some of the bands, watched a couple of the shows and ate some tacos and quesadillas from Three Amigos Cantina. It was just a really good time. I’m really glad we finally made it out to Old West Festival. 🙂
It’s that time of year again. Time for the largest Oktoberfest in all of America, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. One of the most fun weekend’s of the entire year in downtown Cincinnati…
We used to love Oktoberfest weekend when we lived downtown. This was the first year it hasn’t been right outside our front door. It was also the first year of the new location for Oktoberfest Zinzinnati down in The Banks on Second and Third Streets to accommodate Cincinnati’s new streetcar CB Connector. After today’s Reds game, we wandered over to see what the new look Oktoberfest Zinzinnati actually looked like…
We found the Klaberheads…
GOETTA & CHEDDA!
Oktoberfest might have moved a couple blocks south but it’s still the same big fun. And being able to walk out your front door to Oktoberfest might be one of the few things I actually miss about living downtown. Thank goodness for the 17 bus and Uber. 🙂
I got us one-day passes to the Bunbury Music Festival down at Sawyer Point for Genifer’s birthday back in April so we could see The Killers. Genifer loves The Killers. They played at the casino a couple years back. We missed out on getting tickets but we got to listen their show. We said when they come back that we’ll definitely be getting tickets. And that day is finally here. It seemed liked such a long time away when I bought the tickets. But it’s finally Bunbury Friday, and we couldn’t be more excited…
Time for The Killers!!!
And there was the added bonus of the Reds Friday night fireworks…
We started our Asian Food Fest with a couple of Sapporo’s…
We got tried some very interesting Kimchi Poutine…
And we got some crab rangoons…
I love crab rangoons! Of course, we remembered to take a photo after we had already eaten three or four of them. And the Vietnamese empanadas we ordered were also devoured before we remembered to snap a photo.
