CINCINNATI — The Lenten season is about to begin in the Tri-State, which means weekly fish frys are returning.
Lent, a 40-day Christian period of repentance, begins on Ash Wednesday on Feb. 18 and ends on Holy Thursday on April 2 before Easter on April 5.
Throughout the 40 days, Lenten Fridays fall on Feb. 20, Feb. 27, March 6, March 13, March 20 and March 27.
Whether you're observing Lent or simply want to enjoy a fish fry, the Tri-State area has dozens of fish frys being hosted by churches, parishes, businesses and more.
