Cincinnati Faces Busy Weekend with Events and Storm Threats
Cincinnati is gearing up for a bustling weekend filled with major events, including the 25th annual Ohio River Paddlefest, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity's 85th Grand Conclave, and performances by country music star Chris Stapleton. The city is also hosting sports events such as the Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates series and an FC Cincinnati match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
