The Asian Festival also is taking place Saturday and Sunday at Franklin Park.
If you're in the mood for a weekend road trip, the Cleveland Guardians are welcoming interleague rival St. Louis to Progressive Field for a three-game series this weekend.
And just down Interstate 71 in the opposite direction is one of the state's most popular events -- The Taste of Cincinnati.
