Join in the first ever Dayton Peace Festival being held October 12th-14th, 2019 at the Dayton Peace Museum, which is located in a gorgeous historic home downtown at 208 W Monument St. The festival offers free yoga, meditation sessions, food trucks, games with celebrity guests, and much more!
This 3-day event is the brain child of Alter High School alumni and former San Francisco 49er Chris Borland. He is currently based in Los Angeles, and was moved to come back to Dayton after the mass shooting in the Oregon District. This festival is his way of helping bring a sense of peace, as well as fun, to his hometown that he cares about so deeply.
