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.

Raymond James  Fountain Day was celebrated with live music, speeches, and fireworks!

Starting at 6pm, live music started from Fourth Day Echo to kick off the event. Our emcee for the evening, Bob Herzog from Channel 12,  introduced the Vice Mayor, Roxanne Qualls at 8 pm to turn on the Fountain for 2010. She officially welcomed spring to the city and gave the signal to let the water flow once again from the hands of the Genius of Water atop the beautiful Tyler Davidson Fountain.

Special thanks to our title sponsor Raymond James & Assoc. and P&G who provided the fireworks.

We would like to thank P&G for their support of Fountain Square and these other great causes.
