The Toledo Ballet has always had a good reason to dance. This entertainment group has been maintaining its impressive tradition of stunning, impressively choreographed performances for over 70 years and there is no sign of stopping. In addition to presenting works that are based on the classics, the ballet also incorporates modern touches to different presentations throughout their season. This includes elements of jazz, hip-hop, and musical theater that all work to not only challenge the dancers to new levels of performance, but also appeals to a wider audience who otherwise may not have ever thought of catching one of the ballet's mesmerizing performances.
Even though its name may suggest something low key and quiet, Frankie's Inner City Lounge is anything but sedate. This is one of Toledo's premier nightlife venues for new and alternative rock and features a powerful combination of live bands and DJs every night of the week. The mood changes from night to night depending on what band or musical theme is on the menu, ranging from guitar bands on Tuesdays, open mic night on Wednesdays and industrial and Gothic music on Fridays. A cool, happening and loud place, Frankie's is not for the fainthearted.
Kids love to scribble and draw. If your little ones have an artistic inclination, then foster that talent and maybe even inspire them with a visit to the Toledo Museum of Art. This impressive attraction features art that spans the historical sweep from the ancient to the modern. Many pieces are presented in various media that include pottery, sculpture and photography. There is also a fascinating section of exhibits that spotlight historical furniture and other artifacts.
