Holidays on the Farm returns

The winter holidays are upon us, and with them comes excitement and anticipation, building with each passing day. We look forward to great parties, delicious food and more time with friends and family. 

On the other hand, having so much to do, it’s also easy to be pulled in too many different directions, with shopping lists, traffic, not enough time and too much stress.

Great Parks has the answer. 

Holidays on the Farm at Parky’s Farm, with its uniquely nostalgic setting, offers a welcome escape from the rush of the season. Visitors will make new memories together outdoors and be reminded of the bonds we share with each other and nature even as the temperature drops.

Guests can relax on the lighted trail or hay wagon rides amidst more than 100,000 twinkling LED lights. Warm firepits beckon throughout the farm, with live holiday music drifting under the stars. A popular beer garden adds to the cheer. Children and adults of all ages will enjoy meeting reindeer and farm animals, watching traditional holiday favorites on an outdoor big screen, visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and even trying their skill at the game of curling.

Holidays on the Farm is open from 5-9 p.m. on the following dates:

November 24-December 17, Fridays-Sundays,

December 21-23,

December 26-31.

Purchase tickets in advance online for $15 at greatparks.org or for $17 at the gate. Children 2 years and younger enter at no charge.

As Great Parks offers this and more new four-season friendly experiences, Holidays on the Farm is fast becoming a favorite outdoor fixture among Greater Cincinnati’s holiday traditions.

Prime Cincinnati for Thanksgiving and the holidays…and…Primo Middletown!

Prime Cincinnati, known for the best steaks, seafood, pasta, live music, cocktails…and perfect to celebrate all your holiday gatherings! Thanksgiving Day (and week!), Christmas..New Year’s Eve…Prime and Primo are the places to be!

Nelson Castillo, owner of Prime Cincinnati at 580 Walnut St. ( also Street City Urban Gourmet), opened Primo Middletown in the former BeauVerre Riourdan Studios Building in Downtown Middletown.

Primo Middletown, like Prime, focuses on USDA Prime, certified Angus Beef steaks, along with an expanded menu to include Italian dishes, like veal chops and Osso Buco…classics for an Italian steakhouse. Primo also has wine dinners with menu pairings, and a high-end wine list that pairs well with an Italian steakhouse.

Primo Middletown (and Unexpected in Cincinnati) has a secret speakeasy accessible through the kitchen, which features more than 100 rare and allocated Bourbons. Unlike Prime, Primo’s speakeasy also has a cigar lounge. A membership to either speakeasy allows access to both.

Let Prime or Primo take care of all your holiday needs…dine-in, carry out, catering….whatever you’re looking for!

Nelson Castillo, owner of Prime Cincinnati at 580 Walnut St. ( also Street City Urban Gourmet), recently opened Primo Middletown in the former BeauVerre Riourdan Studios Building in Downtown Middletown.

Primo Middletown, like Prime, focuses on USDA Prime, certified Angus Beef steaks, along with an expanded menu, including Italian dishes, like veal chops and Osso Buco…classics for an Italian steakhouse. Castillo also acquired a pasta maker from Italy which he uses to supply his restaurants, and also sell retail pasta. There are wine dinners with menu pairings, and a high-end wine list that pairs well with an Italian steakhouse.

Primo Middletown also has a secret speakeasy accessible through the kitchen, which features more than 100 rare and allocated Bourbons. Unlike Prime, Primo’s speakeasy also has a cigar lounge. A membership to either “UNEXPECTED” speakeasy (either downtown Cincinnati or Middletown) will allow access to both! Castillo is wowing the guests of Primo Middletown….it is fabulous…and a welcome new hotspot for the Middletown and greater Cincinnati patrons of fine dining!
