Explore downtown Dayton during First Friday. Certain volunteers will rappel "over the edge" of the 27-story KeyBank Tower. You can watch from Courthouse Square and stick around for the Over the Edge Drop Party featuring live music, food vendors, wine, and craft beer. Elsewhere downtown there are art experiences, live theater, local bands, food and drink specials. And Clash Dayton is downtown's go-to resource for Halloween costumes.

Come to the Midwest's premier outdoor adventure festival! Experience more than 25 "try it" activities, compete, camp, watch the pros, connect with national and local outdoor adventure exhibitors, learn, shop, relax with music and a beverage, and more. Saturday and Sunday.

The Carillon Park Rail & Steam Society will be operating its miniature trains on Saturday from 1:00-4:00pm. Established in 1984, this is a 7.5 gauge (1/8th full-scale) miniature railroad at Carillon Historical Park. Train rides are fun for the whole family!   

This Saturday and Sunday at the Victoria Theater the award winning Dayton Contemporary Dance Company presents Wynton Works. This is making the music of jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis come alive through dance and it is in collaboration with University of Dayton Jazz Ensemble.

Faith and Friends Radio.Com is hosting the annual chocolate festival at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Coliseum on Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Live radio broadcasts, entertainment, door prizes and lots of Chocolate! This year's theme is Lights, Camera, Chocolate! This is family friendly.
