Fall Back in Time

WHEN: September 3rd - October 23rd
WHERE: Krohn Conservatory

Join us at the Krohn Conservatory as we "Fall Back in Time"  to an era of formal gardens and inspired designs. In the time of Victorian England, gardens were a thing of art and beauty created to encourage peaceful reflection. This was a time when flowers held special meaning and were sometimes used to portray secret messages. Reflect on the wonderful colors of the season as you stroll through our collection of chrysanthemums and trailing fuchsias. Listen to the sounds of water gently cascading over the edge of fountains surrounded by luscious lavender and mighty alocasia. Look closely for the creative conduits of steampunk, a style which steals its inspiration from Victorian fashions and blends it beautifully with gears and modern amenities. Reminisce on the past while you surround yourself with our gorgeous gardens full of flirtatious flowers!
Western & Southern / WEBN Riverfest

            
WHEN: Sunday, Septemeber 4th - 12 pm - 10 pm
WHERE: Sawyer Point

This traditional, end-of-summer event began more than 30 years ago when WEBN treated the tri-state to a fireworks show in honor of the radio station's 10th anniversary. The party, held annually at Sawyer Point on Sunday of Labor Day weekend, has grown into an all-day affair with music, food and family fun and entertainment all day.  On both sides of the river, nearly a half-million people view the choreographed Rozzi's Fireworks show while listening to the soundtrack on  WEBN (102.7 FM) starting just after 9pm and lasting for about 30 minutes.
This year's theme is "Celebrating 40 Years of Fireworks". As part of the event Kiss 107, Cincinnati's Hit Music Station, will provide live performances from recording artists Jacob Whitesides, Daya, Jordan Fisher, and Alex Angelo, as well as performances from local music and entertainment acts at the Hubert's Lemonade Pavilion Stage.
