Bike Parking - Bluegrass Heritage Festival
Ride your bike out for the Miami Valley Bluegrass Heritage Festival in Miamisburg and we’ll provide FREE Bike Valet Parking. That’s right, BIKE valet parking helps festival-goers beat the car-parking-blues. Find the Bike Miami Valley tent in the grass near the restrooms, just off of the Great Miami River Trail, to check your bike in and we’ll park it. You enjoy the activities with your family and we watch your bikes free of charge. Help the environment and do your part by arriving on two-wheels!

Author and journalist Christine Negroni took a multi-day bicycle ride along the Miami Valley Trails in April 2017 to experience the aviation sites along the way. Her article, "A Bike Ride Through Wright Brothers Territory" was recently published online by the Smithsonian Institution's Air & Space magazine. It will be published in their print edition later this year.

But remember an average means half the days will be warmer than that. If fact, the National Weather Service predicts a 46% chance that the average temperature for this summer in Dayton will be above that long term average of 73.
