WEBN Fireworks at the Cincinnati Riverfest offer a chance to watch one of the largest fireworks festivals in the Midwest, presented each Labor Day weekend as part of the Cincinnati Riverfest event.

The fireworks display begins at approximately 9:05pm on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, held at Cincinnati's Sawyer Park. It has been held each year for over 40 years, originally established as part of radio station WEBN's 10th-anniversary celebration. More than 500,000 visitors attend the fireworks show annually, with more than 2,500 boats docking along the Ohio River for waterfront views. Other ticketed events held as part of Riverfest include a Rubber Duck Regatta, a family-friendly activity zone, and live music performances by regional and national rock and pop artists.
