Weekly Casual Music Events Near Your B&B in Northern Kentucky
Local bands perform at Newport on the Levee in Newport, Kentucky, every Thursday night until August 29. Admission is free, and music is live from 7 PM to 9 PM.

Music@BCM is another option if you’re looking for casual music events in Cincinnati. Hosted at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, live performances occur weekly on Thursdays from 7PM to 9PM until August 15. Family-friendly summer music is a great way to spend the evening.

Jennifer, our innkeeper and chef, loves preparing special picnics for guests adventuring around the region.
Something Unique – The Ohio River Paddlefest
Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati share history and a river that separates the two areas. The Ohio River is historically vital for trade, settlement, and culture. It’s also the site of one of the most unique events in Cincinnati for 2024. On August 3, more than 2,000 participants will take to the river around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky for Paddlefest.
It’s a unique celebration of life on the water. It’s a spectacle to see so many kayaks, canoes, and unique paddle-powered watercraft at once. Spectators can choose from a few spots along the river. Sawyer Point Park offers one of the best vantage points with plenty of seating and well-maintained public areas. The park is next to the Purple People Bridge, a walking bridge connecting Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. If you’re planning to explore the area on foot while checking out Paddlefest, there’s no better location. It’s less than 30 minutes from Willis Graves Bed and Breakfast near Cincinnati.
Burlington Antique Show – The Best Event on the Antique Calendar
The Burlington Antique Show has been the premier regional antique event on the calendar for over 40 years. Held a few minutes from your B&B in Northern Kentucky at the Boone County Fairgrounds, it’s held every third Sunday of the month from now until October 2024. (The event runs on the third Sunday of each month from April to October every year, excluding May, when it’s on the second Sunday.)
You will unearth hidden treasures from dealers presenting everything from vintage jewelry to collectibles, home décor antiques, and fashion trends from bygone eras.
The Burlington Antique Show is a great place to meet dealers, locals, and like-minded travelers. It’s one of the most important events on the antique calendar, where culture, history, and community collide in the most wonderful way.
