Summer Fun in Loveland

June 22, 2022

Summer is upon us and we know how much you’re looking forward to celebrating. You’ll find plenty of fun summer things to do in the City of Loveland, the host city for HOMEARAMA® 2022.

Find More to Love

Of course, the big news of the late summer will be the 59th annual HOMEARAMA® coming to the City of Loveland. Visit the home show at ChimneyRidge and tour six fully decorated and landscaped homes from September 3rd to 18th. You can buy your tickets now. While you look forward to the show, here are more ways to get to know the City of Loveland this summer.

Hike and Bike

There’s a great local trail in the Little Miami State Park along the Little Miami River. It’s perfect for summer sunset walks or an afternoon biking trip. Bring a picnic to the park and enjoy lunch while you take in Ohio’s nature.

Make a Splash

Because the City of Loveland is so close to the Little Miami River, water sports like kayaking, canoeing and more are easily accessible. Rent a boat and set out for a leisurely float or a heart-pumping paddle.

Summer Shopping

Inspired to refresh your own house after visiting HOMEARAMA®? Head to the boutiques of Loveland for fun finds for your home (or for you!). Take a break from shopping to enjoy a decadent treat from the Loveland Sweet Shoppe.

Grab Drinks or Dinner Downtown

If you’re a foodie or beer lover, you’ll love the scene in downtown Loveland. From rooftop bars like Bishop’s Quarter to family-friendly dining or desert at Loveland Dairy Whip, there’s something for everyone.

Local Scoops

Loveland Dairy Whip isn’t the only place in town for frozen treats. Stop by Trailside Ice Shack for some Hawaiian Ice or Greater’s for a cone or dish of Cincinnati’s local favorite flavors.

Discover the Olden Days

Rainy summer day? No problem. Learn about the lives of Ohio pioneers at the Loveland Museum Center. Tour exhibits, photo galleries and even a log cabin from 1797. Walk through the 1862 home of the father of the City of Loveland’s first mayor.

Get the Royal Treatment at the Loveland Castle

Long before HOMEARAMA®, the City of Loveland inspired unique custom homes: The Loveland Castle, built in the 1920s, stands out as a local landmark. Stroll through the garden, have a photoshoot, host a wedding or plan a private event at this charming venue.

Attend the HOMEARAMA® Show

With so much happening in and around the City of Loveland, be sure to mark your calendars for Cincinnati’s largest home show, September 3-18, 2022.
