Cincinnati Reds fans will be able to enjoy Friday night home games throughout the 2026 season thanks to Rally at Ovation, a family-friendly event series that will open the development’s riverfront plaza.
Programming will run from 4 to 8 p.m. on select Fridays in May, June, July, August and September at Ovation Plaza, located at 123 W. Fourth Street in Newport. Organizers hope Ovation Plaza will serve as the pre- and post-game gathering space for fans heading to and from Great American Ball Park.
The series will feature live music, food and beverage vendors, yard games, giveaways and game-day drink specials. The band Sugar Daddy will perform at the opening event on May 8, with additional live music acts scheduled throughout the season.
In addition, Market Bar and High Note Rooftop Bar will offer food and drink specials and game viewing at each Rally event.
Following Friday night games, attendees will also have access to fireworks viewing locations at The Boardwalk at Ovation, High Note Rooftop Bar and surrounding public spaces. Additional amenities include low-cost parking in the Ovation Garage, with reservation and pre-payment options available.
