Collab Fest

Join us at the official kickoff party for Miami Valley Craft Beer Week, only at the Dayton Art Institute! The DAI is proud to host Collab Fest, a craft beer festival featuring products from 14 local craft breweries and 13 never-before-poured collaboration beers. At Collab Fest, local Dayton breweries are teaming up to create exclusive collaboration beers available for one day only. These special brews are made just for the event, so if you don't taste them at Collab Fest, you won't get another chance! Enjoy the day in the cool comfort of the DAI's historic Gothic Cloister.
