2026 Eichelberger Concert Season Reveal: Carnival on the Lawn
April 30 @ 5:30 pm
Event Navigation
We’re Getting Ready to Be Back on the Lawn! On April 30, we’ll gather for the 2026 Eichelberger Concert Season Reveal: Carnival on the Lawn—our official kickoff to a new season of free live music. The night begins at 5:30 PM when the lawn opens, and we invite you to come early and settle in. Bring your chairs or blankets, grab something to eat, and enjoy a little extra fun this year with a carnival-style atmosphere—think face painting, balloon art, lawn games, and moments that bring out that kid-at-heart feeling for all of us. We’re especially excited to partner with A World A’Fair to help bring this spirit of culture, connection, and celebration to the evening. Together, we’re creating a space where everyone feels welcome and where our community can come together in a meaningful way. As the evening unfolds, DJ Kim L will kick things off, leading into a high-energy performance by the Dayton Funk All-Stars—the perfect way to dance into a new season. And while you’re here, don’t forget to grab your 2026 Eichelberger Concert Season calendar. It’s your guide to a summer full of free concerts, shared experiences, and nights on the lawn you won’t want to miss.
