Raise your glass for the return of Dayton’s favorite fall festival, Oktoberfest, presented by Miller Lite, taking place September 27-29 on the museum grounds.
A Dayton tradition established in 1971, DAI’s Oktoberfest is southwest Ohio’s longest-running Oktoberfest celebration, and the museum’s largest annual fundraiser. This community event boasts artisans, unique foods, ample domestic, international and craft beers, international wines, kid-friendly art activities, live music throughout the weekend, and much more! Money raised by Oktoberfest helps support everything we do at the Dayton Art Institute. Prost!
