Cincy Blues Fest is back at Sawyer Point this weekend celebrating its 20th anniversary. The volunteer-driven festival showcases quality Blues entertainment on multiple stages year after year. Performances run 5 p.m.-midnight Friday and 4 p.m.-midnight Saturday. Adonis Nightclub opens the pool for Greater Cincinnati Human Rights Campaign’s dive-in movie night Friday. Doors open at 7 p.m. and Bridesmaids will be shown on the big screen at 9:30. Come early to hang out poolside and enjoy a men’s swimwear fashion show by Knickers XY at 8:30 p.m. After the show, there will be a silent auction for those very sexy suits! When else can you take the knickers right off a model? A photo booth and plenty of grub will be on hand all night. Tickets are $20 at the door. Find your polo, iron your pleated skirt and lather on the sunscreen — it’s time for the Western & Southern Open! One of tennis’ oldest and largest tournaments kicks off Saturday at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason. Matches continue through Aug. 19, featuring Maria Sharapova, recent Olympic gold medalist Andy Murray and Serena Williams. There will even be live music from noon-2 and 5-7 p.m. Aug.12-18. Get tickets, schedules and directions here. Saturday is Community Art Centers Day, presented by ArtsWave. Cincinnati is lucky to have a community center where children and adults can express themselves creatively in almost every major neighborhood. On Saturday, these participating centers will host open houses and present parades, demos, performances and more. Kennedy Heights Arts Center, Sharonville Fine Arts Center and Clifton Cultural Arts Center are just a few locations celebrating and showing off their stuff this weekend. Second weekends = extra fun in Northside and OTR. Head to Northside Saturday to check out extended hours and specials at the neighborhood’s great galleries, restaurants, bars and businesses, 6-10 p.m. Second Sundays on Main keep the party going through the weekend. This month’s theme is Growth & Wellness, so come harness your chi or just recover from your hangover with food vendors, street performers, yoga demos, food and wine pairings, shopping and live music. The street fest takes over Main Street between Thirteenth and Liberty, noon-5 p.m. Ongoing events: Hamilton County Fair and Great Inland Seafood Festival continue through Sunday. And be sure to swing by Fountain Square Friday for the Indie Craft Market, coinciding with MidPoint Indie Summer featuring A Place to Bury Strangers, The Kansas Bible Company and Sidewalk Chalk.

By all accounts (from people who actually attended or performed), last month’s huge Bunbury Music Festival was one of the best-run fests of its kind this area has ever seen. Organizer Bill Donabedian no doubt scored some tips from the operators of the big annual Blues celebration, the volunteer-driven Cincy Blues Fest, which has been doing the “well-run music festival” thing at Sawyer Point Park along the riverfront for many years now. This weekend, the Cincy Blues Fest — one of the finest Blues events in the Midwest — returns to Sawyer Point to celebrate its 20th anniversary. That's a remarkable two decades of providing Greater Cincinnati live music lovers with some of the finest Blues being made locally, regionally and nationally, a rare and impressive achievement for any music festival. This year’s main stage national headliners are especially strong — Webb Wilder on Friday and Duke Robillard on Saturday — but the Cincy Blues Fest always has a ton of interesting and engaging artists performing throughout the fest’s multiple stages. Aside from the lineup featuring a few higher quality headliners than the past couple of years (like Robillard, Wilder, Trampled Under Foot, Super Chikan, Sista Monica, etc.), this year’s 20th anniversary celebration isn’t really being overblown, likely because the Cincy Blues Society and the army of volunteers that work the fest always do such an amazing job running the event; it’s already quite special, no matter what birthday the fest is celebrating.  One of my favorite elements of the Blues Fest is its undying support for our local players and singers. This year, Cincy Blues Challenge winners Chris Yakopcic and the Noah Wotherspoon Band have main-stage slots (they’ll also go to Memphis this winter to compete for Cincinnati in the International Blues Challenge). Yakopcic performs at 5:45 p.m. Friday, while Wotherspoon and Co. play at the same time Saturday (following a band of students associated with the Blues in the Schools program, for which the fest raises money).  The three side stages — always creatively programmed — have a heavy local presence. Friday, visit the “Blues: The Next Generation” stage for sets by younger area acts like the Wade Baker Trio, Brian Keith Wallen Band, Scotty Bratcher and (again!) Noah Wotherspoon and his band. The “Next Gen” stage starts at 5:15 p.m. Saturday.
