As traditions go, Cincinnati has pretty good thing going with their Reds Opening Day
festivities. It seems like all of downtown is buzzing with excitement and coated in
Red. I watched from my office as the people gradually filled Fountain Square in eager
anticipation of 93rd annual Findlay Market Opening Day Parade.


The parade stepped off from Findlay Market at 1pm…

And by 1:20pm-ish, the parade made it’s way to Fountain Square…




And here’s the view looking out the east side of our office building…

At 3:15pm, the parade was still going even though most of the spectators had moved on…

And finally at 3:45pm, the four mounted police officers marked the end of the parade.

Last year’s parade was about an hour and a half, I guess everyone wants to get in on this
Cincinnati tradition. And this year, I think just about everybody in Cincinnati did! 🙂

Oh. Click to see my photos from the 2011 parade.
