Riverfront Prepares For Riverfest - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati
Even thoough this isn't tatting here is a video of my brother, Martin, being interviewed by Channel 5 News. He sets the fireworks for the Riverfest show here in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI -- On Riverfest weekend, preparation is important, but nowhere is it more important to fans than on the innocuous-looking barge on the Ohio River.
That’s where the big booms will come from Sunday night.
"Basically we've completed the main sites and now the folks are completing the fronts which will give us all the great angles,” Rozzi’s Fireworks’ Martin Schaefer said.
It’s a floating fireworks machine gun, not only loaded with the trademark Rozzi's ammunition, but also with the element of surprise.
We always have something in there, and I think you'll see some interesting effects that you haven't see before this year,” Schaefer said.
Riverfest’s organizers say they want to make sure everyone knows the rules: No alcohol, no coolers, no pets and no grills.
At the Serpentine Wall, blankets can’t be put out until 6 a.m. Saturday.
And if you’re thinking of getting your boat along the shore in time for the fireworks, you might already be too late.
"Actually, we've been here two weeks," boater Kevin Heckle said.
The fireworks go airborne at 9:05 p.m. Sunday, though Riverfest itself begins at noon.
