FESTIVALS & SIGNATURE EVENTS

While there are dozens of great events happening downtown every day, there are also some big, not-to-be-missed events that we look forward to every year.

Downtown Dayton is home to many of the region’s best cultural and music festivals, fun celebrations, and other large-scale events that draw crowds from all over and showcase all that our city has to offer.

From seasonal events like the Summer in the City lineup and the Dayton Holiday Festival to cultural celebrations, live music festivals and more, you won’t want to miss these perennial favorites as you rediscover downtown Dayton.
