The Coast Guard will block a mile of the Ohio River for a Red Bull event
What happened
The Coast Guard plans to create a temporary safety zone on parts of the Ohio and Licking Rivers near Cincinnati. This means boats and people cannot enter these areas without permission during the Red Bull Flugtag event in August 2025.
Why it matters
This is a routine temporary closure for a public event. It shows how local authorities manage public waterways for safety during large gatherings. These types of closures happen regularly for various events, from fireworks displays to boat races.
The signal
Watch for the final rule to be published, which will confirm the exact dates and times of the closure.
