Downtown Dayton Partnership

Harmonies Music Boxes
2025-08-07 | Downtown Dayton
The Downtown Dayton Partnership and Le Monde Studios are excited to present Harmonies, a multi-location public art installation on view for the entire month of August 2025. These larger-than-life, interactive art installations will celebrate Dayton’s creative spirit and stop people in their tracks. Four musical instruments, powered by green technology, come alive with local music and lights at the turn of a hand crank. See a banjo on Courthouse Square, a guitar at Levitt Pavilion, a harp at the Convention Center, and a treble clef in the Oregon District at the Seed of Life Plaza. This is more than a photo-op; it’s a moment of magic in the middle of an ordinary day. Presenting sponsor: PNC. Supporting sponsors: Bob Ross Auto Group and Grunder Landscaping Co.
