Friends of Levitt Pavilion Dayton is excited to announce the2023 Eichelberger Concert Season. The lineup of 45 free concerts begins on June 1st with audience favorite The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band.
This year’s season promises to be a diverse and exciting mix of music, featuring local, regional, national, and international acts. In fact, this season the Projects Unlimited Gem Series will feature 15 local artists and bands as openers, helping to expand their audiences and celebrate the incredible local music scene in Dayton.
All concerts in the 2023 Eichelberger Concert Season begin at 7PM* and are free and open to the public, thanks to the generosity of the community. Levitt Dayton is located in Dave Hall Plaza in downtown Dayton and features lawn seating. Audience members can bring in their own lawn chairs and food and beverage – including alcohol, although glass is prohibited. There are also food and beverage vendors on site and lawn chair rental is available for a $5 donation.
“We love hearing that so many people are excited to reconnect through our free live music series this summer,” said Lisa Wagner, Executive Director for Friends of Levitt Pavilion Dayton. “We hope that they’ll invite their friends and family who have never experienced a Levitt Dayton concert, so that we can continue to grow this incredible community we’ve seen form over the 5 seasons that the space has been activated.”
Levitt Dayton is a non-profit organization that fosters a sense of community by providing free outdoor concerts in the heart of downtown Dayton. The organization firmly believes that music can bridge cultural divides and bring people together, and their concerts are a testament to this belief. Levitt Dayton offers a unique and enriching experience that is accessible to all. Through their efforts, Levitt Dayton has succeeded in creating a vibrant and inclusive cultural scene in the city of Dayton.
