Sawyer Point Park and Yeatman's Cove span a stretch of Cincinnati's downtown riverfront shoreline, best known as the site of the annual Bunbury Music Festival. The park, which is located on the site of Griffin Yeatman's former historic 1793 tavern, the city's first tavern. A large bronze statue at the park depicts Roman statesman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the city's namesake, who is often compared to George Washington and was chosen to represent the city for his ideals of civic virtue and patriotism. The park's Serpentine Wall, constructed in 1976 for the American Bicentennial, serves as a flood wall and showcases a series of steps descending to the riverfront. Each year, the park serves as a popular gathering spot for watching the city's Riverfest Labor Day festival.
