For nearly 50 years, Riverfest has been the quintessential, free Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky festival that bids farewell to another fun summer.  We celebrate on Labor Day weekend with great music—both live and on WEBN radio, of course!—family fun, friends hanging out on the scenic banks of the Ohio river, and the world-famous Rozzi fireworks display. 

On Sunday, live entertainment typically begins around noon on both sides of the Ohio River and you can find a variety of delicious food and drink available. There are many parking lots, as well as some street parking, but this is an extremely popular event, drawing more than 200,000 people, so it’s a good idea to arrive early and stake out your spot.

If you’d rather not join the happy throngs along the riverbanks, there are ticketed viewings available. The Purple People Bridge hosts a fundraiser VIP event, Boom on the Bridge!  It features one of the best views on the Ohio river--you’ll get to see the fireworks up close, from the Kentucky side of the bridge. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to truly enjoy the display up close and personal. Another popular option is to take in the show from the river itself, on one of the riverboats from BB Riverboats.

No matter where or how you choose to celebrate, it’s sure to be a great time with an incredible backdrop.  Have fun choosing how to view the jaw-dropping fireworks and enjoy one more summertime festival in Cincinnati and NKY!
