The 2021 Eichelberger concert season begins June 12 with New Orleans trumpeter Shamarr Allen.

Click here for the full schedule. All concerts are free, and guests are welcome to bring picnic blankets, chairs, food, and drinks.
In the interests of safety, the Friends of the Levitt Dayton Pavilion want to meet everyone wherever they are in this ever-changing environment. They have installed contactless toilets and will provide hand sanitizing stations in the park. Social distancing circles will be painted in a few rows at the back of the lawn for anyone who would like that space.
âWe constantly monitor and listen to local and public health commands and remain nimble and flexible throughout the summer,â said Lisa Wagner, Managing Director. âWe ask everyone who attends concerts to be respectful and kind to each other, because we are all enjoying the return of live music!â
In 2019, the Levitt Pavilion in Dayton hosted more than 72,000 people on the lawn and had an economic impact of $ 1.5 million in the downtown area. In 2020, they offered 16 free virtual concerts via Facebook and Youtube and injected $ 28,000 into the local arts industry.
