The Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport is once again inviting the community to its annual for Runway Fest open house - its seventh annual family-friendly festival - which will take place from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, August 9th.

Runway Fest is an evening that the whole family can enjoy, including a live performance by Ashley Martin Band;inflatables for the kids and multiple aircraft displays.  The young-and young at heart-can visit the bounce house, have their faces painted, and take to the sky with airplane rides all while enjoying the atmosphere of a fun, family-friendly evening.

Festivities will end with a dazzling display when a Rozzi Fireworks lights up the night sky at 9:30 p.m.

Visitors may bring lawn chairs or blankets. No coolers, pets, alcoholic beverages or outside food or beverages are allowed.  Parking is available at the Airport at 11160 N. Springboro Pike.

Runway Fest is sure to be a great event for the community. Aircraft enthusiasts, families and anyone just looking for a great way to spend a summer evening should plan to attend.
