An emotional and beautiful way to begin Ohio River Sternwheel Festival 2026. Thank you for honoring the lost, the brave and the responders of the 9/11 tragedy. It’s so strange knowing so many people who weren’t even alive yet so it is up to us to remember and teach….

I said lots of things. But honestly my favorite part is not knowing how it’s going to play out. It’s like Christmas. One year I’ll get that red rider BB gun and the next year my parents will announce their divorce 😂😂😂😂. I’m here for it.

Marietta’s 50th anniversary Ohio River Sternwheel Festival kicks off Friday, and local business owners are preparing for the big weekend.
