What: Dayton Reggae Festival
Date: Sunday, Sept. 6
Hours: 1 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Location: Dave Hall Plaza, Fourth and Jefferson streets, Dayton.
Cost: Free
What not to miss: For a once in a lifetime experience, be sure to stay until the very end for the Reggae Unity Jam. The final act will actually be a collaboration of different artists, hosted by Seefari, and they'll be making Dayton Reggae Festival history with their on-the-spot jams.
Insider tip: You can text the code CODSMS (City of Dayton Summer Music Series) to 99629 and receive the Dayton Reggae Festival line-up straight to your phone.
Parking/traffic info: Street parking around the festival will be free. You can also park in any of the nearby garages for a fee. For people riding the bus, the festival is right near the bus hub, so it's easy to get to.
Best time to go: Since the festival is one day only, why not stay the whole day? But if you're short for time, the bands really start to get going at 3. If you want to see the headliner, definitely get there by 6 p.m. at the latest.
