“It’s always such an honor to help produce this legacy music event with Nathan Peters at the helm curating the artists and experience,” said Brian Johnson, Dayton Music Fest partner and producer, in a news release. “Our goal every year is to present a large cross section of the active and up-and-coming live musicians in Dayton. There’s such a diverse offering coming from creatives in the area and it’s so much fun to host so many amazing musicians over two days in the Oregon District.”

Doors open at 5 p.m. both days with music continuing through 1 a.m. Weekend passes are $20 in advance and $25 at the doors. Each single night is $15 at the doors. Weekend passes can be picked up at Yellow Cab Tavern any time after 5 p.m. on Oct. 20. Full price weekend passes can also be purchased at all three venues on Oct 20.

“Dayton Music Fest is about exploring and supporting our local music scene but with that comes all of the nightlife, dining and entertainment options that our amazing downtown area has to offer” Johnson added. “We’re anticipating upwards of 1,000 attendees at this year’s festival, and we would love to see them out supporting all of our neighbors in the Oregon District and beyond.”
