WEBN's annual Labor Day fireworks show to resume launching over the Ohio River

This Labor Day, the Cincinnati skyline will light up once again with fireworks from Western & Southern/WEBN.

The annual display featuring Rozzi Famous Fireworks is returning Sept. 5 along with Riverfest, according to the radio station. 

The event will kick off at noon at Sayer Point Park and Yeatman's Cove. Fireworks will launch over the Ohio River starting at 9 p.m. There will not be a kickoff party at Fountain Square, as previous years.

The fireworks show will also broadcast on WKRC Local 12.

T-shirts will be available for purchase at participating Kroger locations and online through WEBN "soon," the website states. 

The radio station will also host two "kickoff" party nights on Sept. 3 and 4 with concerts at PromoWest Pavilion at Ovation in Newport. Theory of a Deadman will play Sept. 3 and Atreyu will play Sept. 4. Tickets for both shows are available for purchase now.

The Labor Day tradition did not take place as it usually does over the Ohio River in 2020, but instead moved to Kentucky Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, citing health and safety reasons, organizers said they would "wait until 2021 to gather at the river."

The Rozzi Famous Fireworks show is hosted by the cities of Newport, Cincinnati, Covington and Bellevue on Labor Day weekend, bringing large crowds to the riverfront. The first Riverfest took place in 1977.
