“We are so excited to be able to feature The Avalons and Ryan Roth at our Retro Rewind Concert Event,” said Dave Duebber, general manager of Dayton Mall. “They are all so talented and so much fun, and definitely Dayton fan favorites.”
Local media personality Dan Edwards will emcee the event and a variety of food trucks, like Big Boys BBQ, Heart Attack on Wheels, Little Z Concessions and Mom Makes Mean Melts, will be serving up food to guests. Beer, wine and mixed drinks will also be available.
While attending the event, guests are encouraged to dress in 1950s attire to further embrace the retro theme.
The concert is free and proceeds from the Retro Rewind beer and alcohol will be donated to FLOC, an organization that serves over 6,000 children in the Miami Valley who are neglected, abused, in foster care or simply need resources.
Recently announced is the opportunity for children to embrace the retro theme in a Sock Hop event beginning at 11:30 a.m. Children will listen to ‘50s era music while learning how to do the twist and how to hula hoop. The Sock Hop will also feature a selfie station with retro-inspired props and a goodie bag full of themed treats.
The outdoor concert will be held in the parking lot outside of the Dayton Mall. The gates will open at 11 a.m. While guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs, they are not permitted to bring their own coolers or umbrellas. The Dayton Mall will provide seats on a first-come basis.
