🌍 A World A’Fair is Coming Home!
We’re thrilled to announce that A World A’Fair is returning to its longtime home at the newly renovated Dayton Convention Center on May 21–23, 2027!
For more than 40 years, generations of families from across the Miami Valley gathered downtown to experience cultures from around the world through authentic food, live entertainment, and unforgettable traditions. After successfully continuing the festival at the Greene County Expo Center following the pandemic, we’re excited to bring Ohio’s oldest and largest international festival back to the heart of Dayton.
Join us for an incredible weekend featuring:
🌎 Authentic international cuisine
🎶 Continuous live music and cultural performances
💃 Traditional dance from around the world
🎨 Cultural exhibits, artisan crafts, and interactive displays
👨👩👧 Family-friendly activities, including youth passports and experiences for all ages
The return to the Dayton Convention Center marks an exciting new chapter, with upgraded facilities and a renewed opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures that make our community so special.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you back to downtown Dayton for a weekend of culture, community, and connection!
