The region's premier outdoor adventure festival returns to Dayton this Fall - Enjoy outdoor activities, live entertainment, competitions and much more.
Explore the active side of Dayton with the return of the Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience, a Five Rivers MetroParks event featuring two days of outdoor adventure that celebrates Dayton as the Outdoor Adventure Capital of the Midwest.
“It’s a joy to see so many different people of varying ages, backgrounds and interests come together to celebrate this one thing we all have in common – a love of the great outdoors,” said interim outdoor recreation events coordinator Angela Moore. “Recreating, exploring, learning and just being present in nature has so many benefits and this festival showcases all the opportunities to connect with nature in our region.”
Festivalgoers of all ages and skill levels can try new outdoor activities, including climbing, mountain biking, disc golf, fishing, slacklining, paddling (flat and whitewater), cycling, and ziplining.
Crowd favorites include demos by freestyle kayakers, stand up paddleboarders, BMX riders and more.
The festival is held at Eastwood MetroPark (park side), 1385 Harshman Rd. in Dayton, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8. Admission and parking are free.
