Ladies, gents, critters, and handlers, are your tails wagging in anticipation? Because they should be. Enter the Cincinnati Critter and Handler Weekend in Cincinnati– a concoction of camaraderie, kink, and playful paws, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Cincinnati's most eclectic venues.

Friday: Dive into the weekend with the "Meet and Greet Block Party" – where fur meets flair! Whether you're a sly fox or a mysterious panther, strut your stuff and rub paws with fellow contestants at Bar 901 and The Birdcage. Expect laughter, a dash of mischief, and perhaps a purr or two!

Saturday: Fancy a kink-ucational start to your day? Sign up for Kink U classes, where the curious and the confident converge for a lesson in living on the wild side. But wait – the fur really flies at the "Animal House Mosh", a playful prelude to the evening’s climax: the main contest at Liberty Exhibition Hall in Northside. Bring your best growl, prowl, and howl!

Sunday: After a weekend of fun and frolics, it's time to wind down with some heartwarming grub. Nosh on a delightful brunch at MOTR Pub, where you'll have the purr-fect chance to meet the newly crowned winner, mingle with contestants, and share tales with visiting leatherfolk. Raise a toast to new friendships, unforgettable experiences, and the start of many more fuzzy adventures.

Paw-ticipants, handlers, and the just-plain-curious – this weekend promises a wild ride through the concrete jungle. Sharpen those claws, shine those leashes, and we'll see you there in Cincinnati for Cincinnati Critter and Handler Weekend!

Awaiting dates for 2024!
