Former Cityfolk Festival volunteers have organized a Cityfolk Festival Reunion Concert, featuring Danny Voris, Paige Beller, Son del Caribe, The Corndrinkers and the Stivers Jazz Band. The event is a remembrance of sorts of the now defunct Cityfolk Festival, an annual staple in downtown Dayton for many years. The show will take place this Sunday from 1 to 7 p.m. at Dayton's Courthouse Square, Third and Main streets. The concert is free. For more information, email Cityfolkreunion@gmail.com.
