Do spring blossoms and warmer weather give you a hankering to get out? After Mother Nature dropped some unexpected snow on us in March, it’s likely there’s been a rise in local cases of “cabin fever.” Here are a few upcoming events in April, if you’re looking for fun things to do in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

We’re celebrating the return of baseball with a four-day, Cincinnati Reds Opening Day weekend extravaganza!
