Each year, the Best of Dayton celebrates all that the Miami Valley has to offer. From doughnuts to bike shops, we love celebrating the businesses of this community. This year, the Best of Dayton was both an online and in-person competition, with thousands of people voting online and hundreds voting at our in-person event, held Sept. 26 at Scene75 Entertainment Center in Dayton. Dayton Magazine readers voted for their favorites in 154 categories, and we are excited to bring you this year’s winners. The sponsor was Metronet, and our community sponsor was WDTN.
