WELCOME

Oh, hey there!  If you're like us, you're always seeking new music and unique experiences, but couldn't quite find what your were looking for in Dayton, Ohio.

​

So we decided to take the matter into our own hands and created The Brightside Music and Event Venue!

​

We're a free-spirited and welcoming space for genuine people.  Our mission is simple - to bring people together to dance, celebrate love, enjoy art, and build stronger community bonds…and have a good time while doing it!

​

The memories we create together are why we are here.

Plan your visit...
