Pride month kicked off in downtown Dayton with celebrations throughout the city on Saturday, June 4. The second annual Pride on 5th featured events in the Oregon District and at Levitt Pavilion including vendors, food, youth activities, and lots of live music.

To cap off the day, WYSO partnered with Pride on 5th organizers, Dykes of Dayton, for a concert at Levitt Pavilion featuring Freya's Felines and Lung.

WYSO Music photographer Ruthie Herman was there to capture the evening.
