DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - Artists from across the nation gathered in the Gem City Saturday and Sunday as Train, John Legend, Guster, Rusted Root, Dayton's very own Ohio Players and three dozen other acts rocked the crowds on 3 stages.

"It's been quite a successful weekend for our business and it's been a wonderful opportunity to come out here and to see the local community, advertise your local business and city," said Kaan Gokay, of iGo Wireless.

We've had wonderful partners throughout the process.”
