Reds Opening Day Parade

2018 opening day parade

Howie the Bear knows all about…BASEBALL. A huge Cincinnati Reds fan, Howie will be leading the Hauser Air team as we participate in this year’s Opening Day Parade!

The parade steps off from Findlay Market at noon on Monday, April 2 and lasts about 2 hours. The parade travels south from the market on Race Street for about 10 blocks then heads east on Fifth Street for about 5 blocks. Come join us!

Opening Day is baseball’s annual festival and nowhere is it experienced like it is in the Queen City. Before the first home game each season, Cincinnati celebrates our team with a parade of floats, music and dancing. Plus, an opportunity to hang with all of your favorite mascots! Some revelers will even go to the game afterwards, to watch the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs.
