Bandstand Bluegrass at Washington Park


Bandstand Bluegrass is a great way to wind down after a long day at work. It's every Thursday evening throughout the summer 7-10.  The music was really great! They have a different bluegrass band every week. Made me want to go to Gatlinburg to visit the Smokey Mountains! :)

 As if a nice relaxing time isn't reason enough Eli's BBQ is there!! And yes it is just as good as going to their location, except there's no delicious sides :) Ooooo it's soo good :) If you haven't gone to Eli's BBQ you are seriously missing out!! The line got a little long at one point but nothing unbearable.

 There's Mt Caramel beer too! :)


 There was a lot of seating, benches, chairs and table, or you could bring your own and sit on the lawn. You can bring your dog too! The Bandstand runs along with Yappy Hour where you are invited to bring your dog and grab some food and beer. There's a great little dog park where you can let your dog run around and make friends.











Dojo Gelato came too! I didn't know ahead of time they were going to be there, so I don't know if this is something that happens every week. If they come, go see them!!! Wow they have good gelato! We shared a cup of Key Lime Pie Gelato and Strawberry Champagne Sorbet. Sooooo darn good. I usually hesitate when it comes to Key Lime Pie flavored things because there's either too much of a lime or crust taste. This tasted exactly like a Key Lime Pie. I couldn't believe it! I believe their flavors change, some stay but some don't. They were at Eli's BBQ the following Sunday when we were there and didn't have the Key Lime Pie. They did have Capt Crunch though and it was really delicious too :)
 
 All in all a great relaxing night at Washington Park. If I could I would go every week. If you like Bluegrass it's a great night to go, if you don't like it go anyway haha there's Eli's BBQ! :)

Movie Nights at Smale Riverfront Park

 I'm always up for a movie in a park. I never made it to a movie night at Smale Park last summer, but two Fridays ago we were there and saw Brave!

 It was great! There's a nice big lawn, free popcorn, you can bring your own picnic, and Moerlein has a walk up window for beer! :) 






 They played old Looney Tunes Cartoons too!! :)

I got to take all kinds of pictures of the Roebling Bridge! One of my favorite Cincinnati landmarks! :)





Got some of downtown!

  Downtown at night too!

That's actually the sign on the restaurant haha :)



It was such a great night! I believe they do movies almost every other Friday throughout the summer. :)
