Oktoberfest
September 27
Raise your glass for the return of Oktoberfest, presented by Miller Lite, taking place September 25-27, 2026, on the museum grounds.
A Dayton tradition established in 1971, DAI’s Oktoberfest is southwest Ohio’s longest-running Oktoberfest celebration and the museum’s largest annual fundraiser. Money raised by Oktoberfest helps support everything we do at the Dayton Art Institute.
