CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL: This progressive downtown church, located on East Fourth Street, helps serve the public good with its “Community Issues Forum.” Held alternating Thursdays at noon between late September and May, the forum features speakers on current issues and political races affecting Cincinnati.  

Macy's Music Festival has been part of Cincinnati summers in one form or another since 1962, bringing to town two jam-packed nights of old-school R&B heroes and legends and some like-minded, younger whippersnappers. Head down to Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday to catch legends Anita Baker and The O'Jays plus Jazmine Sullivan, Joe and Robin Thicke.
