Dayton families have a new reason to gather on November 12. Levitt Pavilion Dayton, in partnership with the Dayton Dragons, will host a Levitt UpClose mystery concert at the South Dayton Toyota Dayton Dragons Diamond Club. The event, presented by CareSource, promises a surprise musical lineup that will remain hidden until the performers step on stage.
Details of the experience
Tickets went on sale on October 27 at a price of $55 each and can be purchased through the Levitt UpClose website. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with live music slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. Attendees will enjoy a night of community connection, as the UpClose format focuses on the shared experience rather than the celebrity of the artists.
Why the mystery matters
“Music has such a special way of bringing people together,” said Lisa Wagner, Executive Director of Levitt Pavilion Dayton. “What I love about UpClose is that it’s about so much more than who’s on stage. It’s about the people around you, the connections we make, and the joy of sharing something unexpected together.” Wagner added gratitude to the Dayton Dragons for partnering to create another special community event.
Location and partnership
The South Dayton Toyota Diamond Club, located at the Dayton Dragons’ ballpark, will host the concert. By keeping the venue public and the performers secret, the organizers aim to draw a diverse crowd of music lovers, families, and longtime fans of the Dragons. The partnership highlights the shared commitment of local cultural institutions to enrich the Dayton community.
How to attend
Interested residents can secure tickets and find additional information at LevittDayton.org/UpClose. The event is expected to sell out quickly, given the popularity of previous UpClose concerts and the unique mystery element.
Community impact
Beyond entertainment, the concert supports local arts funding and encourages families to spend an evening together in a safe, family‑friendly environment. By offering a surprise lineup, Levitt UpClose fosters a sense of anticipation and excitement that aligns with Dayton’s tradition of community‑centered events.
What to expect
While the artists remain undisclosed, past UpClose shows have featured a range of genres, from rock and pop to folk and country, ensuring a broad appeal. Attendees can look forward to high‑quality sound, comfortable seating, and the chance to discover new music alongside familiar favorites.
Final notes
The Levitt UpClose mystery concert is a reminder that Dayton’s cultural scene continues to innovate, offering fresh experiences that bring neighbors together. With tickets now available, residents are encouraged to act quickly and be part of a night that celebrates music, community, and the joy of the unexpected.
