The second half of the Cincinnati Reds' 2026 season is loaded with giveaways, concerts and themed nights at Great American Ball Park, and fans from West Chester and Liberty Township still have plenty of reasons to make the drive down I-75.
Here's what's left on the promotional calendar.
Post-game concerts
The Ohio Lottery Post-Game Concert Series continues with electronic producer Marshmello on Friday, after the Reds host the Pittsburgh Pirates (6:10 p.m. first pitch), Fox 19 reported. Rick Ross follows on Friday, August 14, after the Miami Marlins game (6:40 p.m.), and Ludacris closes the series on Friday, September 4, against the Milwaukee Brewers (6:10 p.m.).
All fans with a game ticket can stay for the show. A limited number of Ohio Lottery Field Passes, which place fans closer to the stage, are available for separate purchase.
Bobblehead nights
Two bobblehead giveaways remain. The Terry Francona Bobblehead arrives Saturday, August 1, when the Reds face Pittsburgh (6:40 p.m.). The Elly De La Cruz Bobblehead caps the schedule on Saturday, September 5.
All bobbleheads are distributed at the gates on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Fans holding multiple tickets must exit and re-enter to collect additional figures, according to the Reds' promotions page.
A separate light-up Elly De La Cruz bobblehead is available through the Reds Pick-6 Plan, which bundles tickets to any six regular-season home games (excluding Opening Day).
Fireworks Fridays
Post-game fireworks follow every Friday home game throughout the season. The schedule includes 10 total fireworks shows in 2026, according to CableTV.com. The Saturday, July 4 game against Baltimore featured a separate patriotic fireworks celebration tied to America's 250th anniversary.
Bark in the Park
Dog owners have two dates left: Tuesday, August 18 (Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals) and Wednesday, September 16 (Reds vs. Los Angeles Dodgers). Special dog tickets are required and available through the Reds' website.
Run the Bases
Kids can run the bases after the Sunday, August 16 game.
