In years past, the Tyler Davidson Fountain was activated on Opening Day without fanfare, and it 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.

Sponsored in 2009 by Raymond James & Associates, inc, Fountain Day is celebrated with music, speeches, and fireworks! Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory officially welcomes spring to the city and gives the signal to let the water flow once again from the hands of the Genius of Water atop the beautiful Tyler Davidson Fountain.

The 2010 Fountain Day celebration will include fireworks provided by P&G.

A new Cincinnati tradition, Fountain Day is held annually on the Saturday before Major League Baseball's Opening Day.
