Riverfest, held in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of the largest displays of fireworks in the nation. Phili may have the largest Fourth of July celebration, but Cincinnati steals the show on Labour Day weekend. Riverfest is held every Labour day along the banks of the ohio River. Locals and visitors pack into the downtown area for one last celebration before fall officially arrives. The winters are cold in Cincinnati. Riverfest is celebrated as a last hoorah before the cold weather and long nights set in. The city says goodbye to summer with a bang and does it in grand style.
The fireworks show is the grand finale of Riverfest. It is held on the Sunday night before Labor day and usually begins about 9:05pm. Fireworks are shot off of the bridge spanning the Ohio River. The fireworks are impressive and it is hard to find a bad seat. Boats crowd the Ohio River for miles along both side of the bridge with barely any water visible between them. Many arrive as early as a week before Riverfest to reserve their spot.
