Levitt Pavilion Dayton

Levitt Pavilion Dayton Building community through music, one free concert at a time. According to Pollstar, the average ticket price for a concert is $95.

Levitt Pavilion Dayton’s goal is to provide access to the performing arts for all and transform a neglected green space into a thriving meeting ground for the region. Levitt Pavilion Dayton brings people of all ages and backgrounds together to experience free high-caliber concerts and celebrate a shared sense of community. You can hear all types of genres of music at the Levitt Pavilion without ha

ving to invest in an expensive ticket. This often makes it impossible for a family to experience live entertainment. In 2018 the Levitt Pavilion provided $2.5 million in free programming to the community. Equally important is the increased sense of community pride that the Levitt Pavilion Dayton generates. When the Levitt concerts aren’t in season, the venue is available for use by non-profits and other community groups. This further drives people to the area from throughout the metropolitan region.
