5 Earth Day Events this Weekend in Cincinnati

April is one of our favorite months of the year. Spring temps, butterflies, flowers and the start of baseball season! This weekend brings another April milestone: Earth Day. Cincinnati is a very green city, with gorgeous parks and preserves, a walkable downtown (with a streetcar!) and a gorgeous conservatory and world-renowned botanical garden. We browsed our Online Calendar in search of the best outdoor events this weekend, and found lots of family friendly ways to celebrate this April holiday.

Here are 5 Earth Day events this weekend in Cincinnati:

Spring in Early Cincinnati: An 1803 Muster and Social
Sat., April 22 and Sun., April 23 at Heritage Village Museum
What better way to celebrate nature than an outdoor museum? Come and celebrate the year Ohio became a state (1803, btw) at Heritage Village! Before the war of 1812, militia musters were not just for drilling — they were social opportunities for men and women alike. Linigle’s Company of Ohio Militia will join Heritage Village Museum for an 1803 event that will include drilling, civilian demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Admission is $10 for adults, $6 for ages 5-11, kids under 5 and members are free.
