Reds Opening Day - March 26 - CANCELLED

We all know that Cincinnati Reds Opening Day is an unofficial holiday in the Cincinnati region!  We all love going to the Opening Day Parade, but you also don't want to miss the festivities going on at BB Riverboats!  They're hosting the Bob & Tom Show on Opening Day from their new event center, River's Edge at Newport Landing.  Admission is free, but due to limited seating, you will need to pre-register for a ticket.  After the show, you'll want to stick around for the BB Riverboats Opening Day Party and game-day riverboat shuttles.  Live entertainment as well as food and drink for purchase will happen from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. and shuttles will begin transportation to Great American Ballpark at 10:30 a.m.  The $5 shuttle ticket sure beats the price of parking!
