6:30pm - 9:30pm
Annual Drone Show and concert featuring Dayton’s favorite hometown cover band, Stranger!
Summer in West Carrollton is back, and it’s better than ever. Our 2026 Summer Concert Series brings together everything we love about this community: great music, great food, and neighbors coming together to enjoy it all
Kick off the summer with live music from Stranger from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., followed by West Carrollton’s annual drone show at dusk. Food trucks open at 6:30 p.m., so you can grab dinner and find a spot before the show begins.
As the sun sets, the sky comes alive. What starts as a great night of music transforms into something unforgettable — a fully choreographed drone show lighting up the night sky in motion, color, and story. Thousands of lights move in sync, creating shapes, symbols, and moments that you can feel as much as you see. It’s not just a show — it’s an experience that brings the entire crowd together, eyes up, sharing something truly special. This year, it’s even bigger!
The concert and drone show will kick off West Carrollton’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, featuring a custom-designed, 250th-themed drone show that honors our past, celebrates our present, and looks ahead to the future of our community. It’s quickly become a community favorite, and this year it will be a moment you won’t want to miss. Come early for the music. Stay for the sky. There is plenty of space to relax, enjoy the music, and spend time with family and friends.
Food Trucks: El Meson, Sarge’s BBQ, Schmidt's Sausage, Claybourne Grille, I Heart Ice Cream, Fresh Off the Hook, Billie Gold Bubble Tea
Activities for kids and families will be available throughout the evening.
