DP&L SUMMER IN THE CITY
FUN STARTS HERE
BECAUSE YOU LOVE SUMMERTIME…
BE DOWNTOWN
Festivals, events, and much more all summer long

Summertime is the perfect time to get outside and spend time with friends and family exploring all your city has to offer. From festivals to visual and performing arts events, live music to recreational activities, unique shopping to independent restaurants and breweries and so much more, the summer is packed with great things to do downtown – and DP&L Summer in the City is a celebration of all of it!
Events & Activities Guide
Each year, we put together a handy guide and calendar that highlights dozens of great events happening downtown this summer. You can find printed copies at downtown businesses and events during the summer months, or download the guide from this website starting in late spring.
But that’s not all that’s going on! Our online events calendar is constantly being updated with more downtown events to check out, so be sure to visit it frequently. You also can sign up to receive our weekly “e-vents” email newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the downtown events and activities planned each week.
In addition to the hundreds of events planned throughout downtown each summer, we also host a few special events of our own. Past special events have included downtown housing tours, the Great Dayton Adventure Race, and the Art in the City event. Watch for a listing of DP&L Summer in the City special events to be added here in late spring.
