Cincinnati (August 29, 2025) – One of Cincinnati’s biggest events will have a new twist this year. The 49th annual Western & Southern/WEBN Fireworks will launch on Sunday, August 31 at 9 p.m. with the Pella Windows and Doors Drone show followed by the Rozzi Famous Fireworks and some of the youngest newborns will be celebrating in style.
To help celebrate this ‘booming’ event, The Christ Hospital Health Network and iHeartMedia are partnering to provide a Labor Day Weekend special. All babies born at the Mt. Auburn or Liberty Birthing Centers on Sunday, August 31 will receive the official, limited-edition “Boomsday the Musical” onesie. The onesies read “Tiny Roar. Big Boom!” These BOOM babies will be the little firecracker that lights up their new families.
“The Western & Southern/WEBN Fireworks show is a Cincinnati tradition that thousands look forward to every year we could not be more excited to celebrate with these official onesies,” said Debbie Hayes, President & CEO of The Christ Hospital Health Network. “Our onesies are just another way to mark the special occasion that is so unique to our region. We look forward to celebrating all weekend with these newborns and their families.”
“It is hard to believe the Western & Southern / WEBN Fireworks show has been lighting up our skyline for 49 years, and it just keeps getting better,” said John F. Barrett, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Western & Southern Financial Group. “Thanks to the incredible teams at iHeartMedia, Local 12 and Rozzi Fireworks, this Cincinnati tradition continues to wow crowds and bring our community together year after year. Western & Southern is proud to sponsor an event of this magnitude, one that not only delivers a world-class show but also helps raise critical funds for the Freestore Foodbank. It serves as a powerful reminder that Cincinnati is somewhere we can all do good for others. Together, our impact truly makes a big difference in the lives of many.”
Fans can tune-in to WEBN 102.7 to hear “BOOMSDAY: The Musical” live on-air, or stream for free on the new and improved iHeart Radio app. WKRC-TV will broadcast the Pella Windows and Doors Drone Show and the Rozzi Famous Fireworks in their entirety for those in the community who are not able to attend the event in person. From all of us at The Christ Hospital Health Network and iHeartMedia, we wish these families a Happy Labor Day Weekend!
