Who doesn't like the fair? What!? You don't, well stop reading this…read more.. OK, so now that I have all the fair lovers, lets get into it. The Harvest Home Fair is a downright ancient tradition here on the West Side of Cincinnati. Every year on the weekend after Labor Day a little fair pops up to take over Harvest Home Park in Cheviot. It has all the fair essentials; rides, animals, and of course the wonderful fair food. They even manage to fit a little rodeo area in, too. The one downside was the expense. It was $5 just to get in! And then you had to pay for everything else, too. Well, the rodeo was free actually. But the rides and food were not cheap! All in all we spent $31 for my wife and me, and I can imagine a family would seriously spend some dough. But there's no point trying to deny your child the joys of a fair once they know it's there. Hey that rhymed. Awesome.

West Fest is back this year, with a city block or two shut down for beer, food, crafts, and of…read morecourse live music. Unfortunately, this year it occurred during the heat wave, so I think that kept the crowd down. But the event still had the makings of a good local street festival. My favorites were Christine's (loved their fried cheese curds), Kona's shaved ice (just what the weather called for), and Kungfusion for spicy pork over rice. There was a good section of tables, activities for children, and lots of good music to be had. Overall, a great comeback that I hope will just get bigger next year.

Maybe these types of festivals need to end.

I've seen this show at Memorial Hall, and the space is great for the show they put on. They seem to rotate among individuals in the show (I think they have a large roster of people that rotate in-and-out), and each time there's a new face, I'm not disappointed - each individual performer is as entertaining as the last! I look forward to attending their show again in the future!

They're hilarious, insanely talented, and super nice to boot! The shows are fun and interactive...making you feel like a part of the action! They're also family-friendly (my 8 year old STILL talks about a show we saw a few months ago!). If you're looking to get away from the same boring things and laugh until your cheeks are sore, then look no further than ComedySportz! (They also do Groupon deals from time to time so be on the lookout!)

It very much represents the usual flair that is live music in Northside. You can find everything from acoustic, to punk, to funk, to rock! Some acts are unheard of and some are Cincinnati music must-sees. Beer selection is great and priced similar to the neighborhood bars-- not jack d up because they can. Cavalier has been the distributor the last few years so you get Urban Artifact, Mad Tree, Eight Ball, etc. Food always includes NYPD Pizza (yum!!) and the best food trucks around!! And best part? It still has the funky friendliness that embodies everything in Northside. Highly HIGHLY recommend this festival for the music-loving crowd.

I know it was incredibly hot out, but jeez. I'll stick to the backyard BBQ next year.
