Fifth Third Fountain DaySaturday before Opening DayIn years past, the Tyler Davidson Fountain was activated on Opening Day without fanfare. The event went largely unnoticed, which seems inadequate for Cincinnati’s most prized possession and most beloved landmark. To give the Genius of Water her own celebration is not only fitting, but also leverages the excitement surrounding another great Cincinnati tradition – Opening Day.
That same evening, Fifth Third Bank celebrated the grand opening of its Fountain Square Banking Center and City Living Mortgage Office. The new, nearly 6,000 square-foot, full-service location is part of Fifth Third’s $16.5 million update to its William S. Rowe building. Fifth Third President Bob Sullivan and Cincinnati Reds Hall-of-Famer Johnny Bench presided at the ribbon-cutting. Fountain Day is a new tradition for Cincinnati and is held annually on the Saturday before Reds Opening Day that marks the start of the Major League Baseball season.
