Blue Ash Event Gets Tougher Security

Blue Ash is tightening security for this year’s massive July Fourth celebration, MadTree Red, White & Blue Ash, after last year’s chaos—when around 400 juveniles caused panic by setting off fireworks and fighting. To ensure a safer, family-friendly event, the city now requires all under-18s to be accompanied by a guardian over 21, with entry limited to four fenced, camera-monitored gates opening at 3:30 PM. Bags must be clear and no larger than 16x16x8 inches, subject to search. While no tents, coolers, or pets remain allowed, these new rules aim to prevent repeat disruptions and make the celebration run smoothly for everyone.
