Since its grand opening in 1973, the Dayton Convention Center has been a cornerstone of connection and celebration in downtown Dayton. This transformation wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our incredible community—and we can’t wait to welcome you back through our doors.

Admission is completely FREE, and all members of the community are welcome. Bring your friends, your family, and your Dayton pride—we’ll take care of the rest.

A special thank you to the Montgomery County Convention Facilities Authority (MCCFA) for hosting this event, and Destination Dayton for sponsoring!
