Looking for something to do this weekend? WCPO has teamed up with CityBeat to give you the top nine picks.
1. Cincinnati Pride Festival and Parade
Need a reason to celebrate outrageously this weekend? Decorate yourself with bright-colored garments and accessories and hitch a ride downtown to partake in the annual Pride celebration. Saturday morning, root for all of your favorite LGBT-friendly organizations as they festively parade through the streets of downtown and relish their show-stopping displays.
Head to Sawyer Point afterward to continue the celebration at the Pride Festival. Then, head out to Covington for a second round at the Northern Kentucky Pride Festival.

2. Northside Rock n' Roll Carnival
Beer connoisseurs and music lovers (though the two usually come hand in hand), may you rejoice under the same sunny sky! The Northside area is proud to present its annual Rock n’ Roll Carnival held at Jacob Hoffner Park, featuring loads of local and regional beer, food and music — all for free. With the support from the lovely Cincinnati community, the carnival has grown into one heck of an event.

3. Tri-State Antique Market
Looking for a new furniture for a rustic rehab? Some war memorabilia or piece of history to add to a collection? Or simply a cute vintage piece to decorate with? The Tri-State Antique Market is the second-hand shopper’s mecca for pre-owned items.
The fair boasts its unique and eclectic finds, all of which are required to be at least 30 years old and out of production.

4. Celebrate Social Media Day
Social Media Day is an opportunity to celebrate the evolution of social media and technology. This is the third year for the event, which was started by the website Mashable.com in 2010.
Hundreds of meetups are organized across the globe, where people can meet face to face and network with others in their city.
This year's Social Media Day for the Tri-State will take place on the Purple People Bridge on Saturday, starting at 5 p.m. The party kicks off at 6 p.m. and then moves to Jefferson Hall until 9 p.m.

5. The Second City 2: Less Pride...More Pork
If you haven’t yet caught this hilarious evening of poking fun at Cincinnatians’ foibles and sacred cows — or should I say pigs? — you have only a few more days. The team, a product of the legendary comedy troupe from Chicago, has been tickling our local funny bones since late April, but the fun can’t go on forever, although heaven knows we have a bottomless well of material.
Improv is the fuel that drives these five witty performers, and every night they’re up to new tricks to entertain audiences. Saturday night is the final performance. Plus there is air conditioning.
