Patriotic Pops is one of Cincinnati’s most festive Fourth of July celebrations, featuring a soundtrack of patriotic music (America the Beautiful, Star Spangled Banner), summery outdoor venue and red-coated conductor John Morris Russell. This year, the Patriotic Pops promises to be more fun than ever, as all Pops ticketholders get in free to Coney Island! All day on July 4th, simply show your ticket to ride free on all of Coney’s classic rides (Sunlite Pool excluded). The concert starts at 8 p.m. at Riverbend’s Corbett Pavilion, and ends, of course, with a spectacular fireworks display.
