Cardtopia 2025

Cardtopia 2025, one of the world’s leading card festivals, is dealing at a whole new level this year in Cincinnati.  A magical event designed to celebrate and unite the playing cards community like never before, join the global playing card community at Factory 52 for an immersive celebration of cards, magic, design and play. Explore rare decks from the United States Playing Card Company archives, enjoy jaw-dropping performances from internationally renowned magicians, plus shop limited-release playing cards and must-have merchandise. Whether you’re a casual collector or a card-throwing pro, there’s something everyone can enjoy.

This year marks the 140th birthday of Bicycle® playing cards, and Cardtopia is celebrating in the birthplace of it all — on the historic grounds of the former factory, now reimagined as a dynamic lifestyle destination. Plus, make a full day of it with Sauced: A Bourbon & BBQ Festival happening simultaneously on-site. Magic, music and mouthwatering bites? It’s all in the cards.

Newport Italianfest

Celebrate Italian heritage at Newport Italianfest from June 12-15, 2025, at Newport Festival Park with free admission for all! Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with live entertainment, delicious Italian cuisine, and stunning Ohio River views.

 

Rigoletto

Rigoletto is a court jester with sharp wit and a merciless tongue. By cruelly mocking a grieving father, he sets in motion a tragic lesson in poetic justice. Featuring iconic arias like “Caro nome” and “La donna è mobile,” Verdi’s masterpiece sees Rigoletto become intimately familiar with the dangers of careless love, misguided vengeance, and the inescapable lesson that, under no circumstances, can you fool fate.

Music by Giuseppe Verdi | Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave | Sung in Italian with projected English translations

Date: 6/12/25

Time: 7:30 PM
