First Downtown Dayton Sidewalk Sale set for April 3

Take your love of shopping and dining beyond the boundaries of local storefronts. More than 40 small businesses and locally owned restaurants will expand to the streets from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 3, during the Downtown Dayton Sidewalk Sale.

April’s Sidewalk Sale will have a Spring Fling theme. The open-air experience will take place throughout the streets of downtown Dayton, and guests are invited to explore the entire footprint of the Sidewalk Sale where they will find special attractions lining the pavement in front of their favorite downtown establishments.

Retailers will have merchandise for sale displayed in front of their storefronts. Downtown eateries will offer take-away food and drink specials for guests to enjoy while they stroll, and also invite guests to dine and drink on their patios.

Free entertainment includes roving acoustic musicians and street magicians. Local artisans will be selling items from booths along downtown’s pedestrian thoroughfares. Guests can also enjoy free activities and treats from downtown businesses, such as a spring plant project with Now and Zen DIY Studios and free cookies from Salt Block Biscuit Company. See full details on the Sidewalk Sale website.

Downtown Dayton Sidewalk Sales are planned for the next three months on Saturday, April 3; Saturday, May 8; and Saturday, June 5. Find a map and more information on the Downtown Dayton Partnership’s Facebook event page.
