This year, local favorite Smokin’ BBQ will be on the lawn at every concert offering audiences a more permanent food option. Outside food and drink is still permitted and other vendors will be onsite at select concerts as well.

In the interest of safety, the Friends of Levitt Pavilion Dayton wants to meet everyone where they are in this ever-changing environment. They have installed touchless restrooms and will provide hand sanitizing stations around the park. Social distancing circles will be painted in a few rows at the back of the lawn for anyone who would like the space.

*On June 19, the Levitt Dayton is hosting a Juneteenth concert with opening ceremonies from 5-7PM.
