⚠️ Kettering Field is currently undergoing construction - Attendees should note that because Kettering Field is currently closed for major park construction and upgrades, the field itself will be closed to the public and to vehicle parking. However, the high-flying fireworks will be easily visible from many surrounding public areas and neighborhoods, allowing residents to watch from nearby parks and sidewalks. The City of Dayton wants to ensure a fun and smooth experience for everyone. Visitors are encouraged to plan their parking and viewing locations in advance. Arriving early is the best way to secure a good viewing spot for both the parade and the fireworks. ⚠️ NOTE: Viewing from Riverscape is not guaranteed ⚠️
