Now in its 19th year, Dayton Music Fest is a celebration of local music in downtown Dayton. This year's festival is expanding to include three local venues, Yellow Cab, Blind Bob's and the Trolley Stop over two nights of music, October 21 and 22.
This year also marks the return of Poster-tasic, an exhibition of local gig posters curated by "Gladgirl" Shelly Hulce, which will be on display for the duration of the festival.
Tickets are available now, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit WYSO.
