On Sunday, X-Fest 15 will have an estimated economic impact of about $600,000, including ticket sales, hotels, parking and meals, according to the Dayton/Montgomery County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“It’s a great event for a diverse population,” said Bev Rose, a bureau spokeswoman.
While some rowdy fans have marred the concert in past years, problems at X-Fest have been “spotty,” said Dayton police Lt. Larry Faulkner. Most involve people getting too drunk or rowdy, he said.
“Really, it’s an individual behavior thing; it’s not a group issue at all,” Faulkner said.
Dayton is one of several Clear Channel Radio markets to host X-Fest events this year, along with Indianapolis, San Diego and Huntington, W. Va.
