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.

Coming Up Next…

Many upcoming festivals and signature events are being postponed or rescheduled due to the coronavirus/COVID-19. We are updating this page as we get new information on event dates, but we encourage you to check with the festival websites and contact numbers for more information.

Due to the current health crisis, downtown businesses are creatively adapting to changes necessary for the health and safety of their workers and patrons.

But, business is still OPEN* in downtown Dayton.
