Now that the dinosaurs have left the building, Union Terminal is getting ready to welcome another group of the long since dead: mummies. To celebrate the opening of Secrets of Egypt, Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science and the OMNIMAX’s Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs, the Museum Center is throwing Pharaohfest.
From 2-10:30 p.m. you can “party like an Egyptian” with some of the best performers, chefs, designers and artists in the area. There will be a Cincinnati’s Got Talent! competition, an Iron Chef-style Cincy’s Top Future Chef event, a Cincy Runway fashion show with a reprise of the 2009 UC DAAP fashion show and live music from Indie bands like The Kentucky Struts, The Sundresses, Eclipse and Mia Carruthers & the Retros.
Also look for special guest appearances by Roxanne Qualls, Jean-Robert de Cavel, the Funktastic Bootsy Collins and more.
