The debut will happen at 7 p.m. today at a Levitt Pavilion concert featuring the The Dayton Funk All-Stars. The concert is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at Fifth and Main streets.

Billie Gold Bubble Tea will offer a variety of bubble-tea beverages, including a signature drink called the Rose Gold, described in a release as “a sweet and refreshing coconut milk tea” with rose, tapioca balls and cold-brew coffee from Press coffee shop in Dayton.

Treats from Cakes By Cookie will be available for purchase,  including a pastry that is similar to a vegan Twinkies. Most Billie Gold items are vegan and gluten-free friendly, its founders said in a release.
