2026 Oscar Mayer's Opening Day Celebration

Let's play ball, Cincinnati! Get ready to rally behind the Cincinnati Reds and soak up the excitement of the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade, a cherished Cincinnati tradition that paints the town red! The streets will be buzzing with anticipation as colorful floats, marching bands, and enthusiastic fans fill downtown with an infectious energy.

As the parade makes its way through the heart of the city, it will pass right through the lively atmosphere of Washington Park, where we'll have tons of activities for you, your friends, and your family to do at Oscar Mayer's Opening Day Celebration! Get pumped up for the season with inflatable baseball games, giant yard games, rows of baseball swag vendors, local food trucks, music, and more!

This year, you can also enjoy a visit from the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile! All throughout the celebration, join in activities with the hot doggers like weinerrobics, a hot dog decorating contest, ketchup karaoke, cornhole, photo-ops with the weinermobile, free hot dogs and more! 

Thank you to our sponsors, Oscar Mayer, Raising Canes and Kroger!

Thank you to Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for sponsoring all Spring events at Washington Park!
