Dru Hill
Here's a recommendation from entertainment editor Tasha Stewart: As a Baltimore native, it fills me with pride whenever I see R&B group Dru Hill on stage. I first heard them when I was a freshman at Howard University -- their music was the soundtrack to my life. I still blast their self-titled debut album; though they’ve made a lot more great music since then, that one is still my favorite. Dru Hill will perform at Bogart’s on Friday.
8 p.m. Friday. Bogart’s, 2621 Vine St., Corryville. $42.36. www.bogarts.com

The yacht club is even hosting a special Sunday brunch buffet to keep partygoers fueled for Santamania's last day.

Last call for Neons (in its current home)
Raise a glass and say goodbye (for now) to this Over-the-Rhine staple. The Famous Neons Unplugged is closing the doors at its current location on Saturday. Owner Wellmann Brands said the bar has outgrown the space and will relocate to a larger location in early 2017.
Noon to 2 a.m. Saturday. The Famous Neons Unplugged, 208 E. 12th St., Over-the-Rhine. Free admission. www.facebook.com/Neonsunplugged
Rabbit Hash Christmas Parade
The fifth annual Christmas parade has special significance for the little community that sits along the Ohio River in Boone County, Kentucky. In February, the iconic Rabbit Hash General Store nearly burned to the ground. The community then spent the rest of 2016 raising money to rebuild the 185-year-old landmark. Organizers promise Saturday's parade will rally Christmas spirits and celebrate the season. After the parade there will be live music by the Cheryl Renee Project, cold beverages and wood-fired pizza available.
5-8 p.m. Saturday. Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. Free. For more information visit the event Facebook page.
Mint Condition
They’ve been around for more than 20 years and still sound fantastic. R&B group Mint Condition, “the baddest band in the land,” will perform at OTR Live this Saturday. The group’s musicianship is one of its hallmarks, as is lead singer Stokley Williams' soulful voice. Expect to hear their deep catalog of hits, ranging from classics such as “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” to “What Kind of Man Would I Be” to newer songs like “Believe In Us.”
8 p.m. Saturday. OTR Live, 209 E. 12th St., Over-the-Rhine. $40-$100. www.ticketmaster.com
Bengals vs. Steelers
It’s time for Bengals vs. Steelers, one of the best rivalries in the NFL. Though the Bengals haven’t had a great season, this should still be a good matchup, with both teams fighting to make the playoffs.
1 p.m. Sunday. Paul Brown Stadium, Downtown. $52-$308. www.bengals.com
