For those looking to get outside, several festivals will occur throughout the city this weekend

Spring Fest in the Burg 

A multi-day festival, Spring Fest in the Burg by Miamisburg Moose Lodge invites Dayton locals to Riverfront Park. A continuation of “Spring Fling,” an annual Miamisburg event that ended in 2018, the festival celebrates local artists, musicians and vendors.

In addition to the shopping and entertainment, scholarships will be given out to Miamisburg High School seniors.

Fleurs de Fête 

For those looking to celebrate their weekend with some culture— and maybe a drink— Fleurs de Fête at Carillon Park will be highlighting wine and food this Sunday.  In its 32nd year, the festival is the so-called “premier wine and food festival” of the city. Guests can enjoy samples of hundreds of wines throughout the day while trying gourmet bites from local restaurants. The evening will end with a silent auction, for those looking to take some wine home.
