DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A Fourth of July event that draws thousands of people to Downtown Dayton is back this year after the COVID-19 pandemic caused last year’s festival to be canceled.
Saturday is the City of Dayton’s Lights in Flight Festival at RiverScape MetroPark.
“It’s coming back with a bang, there’s something so celebratory about fireworks,” RiverScape Manager with Five Rivers MetroParks Meredith Adamisin said.
Lights in Flight will be the first big festival in RiverScape MetroPark since the pandemic.
“Riverscape is known for its events,” Adamisin said. “Riverscape holds big festivals, it was highlighted as a priority in our comprehensive master plan, community surveys, people love coming here.”
