FAQs for Dayton.com
What happened to ActiveDayton.com?
ActiveDayton served one mission: helping residents and visitors discover what to do in Dayton. Research told us that our audience wanted something more, a site that keeps them informed and up-to-date on Dayton’s culture, a site that reflects the diversity and vitality of this region we love. To meet that challenge we started from scratch and built a site that Dayton will be proud to have as its address on the World Wide Web. ActiveDayton.com was just a web site; but Dayton.com is a personal connection, an opportunity to participate, contribute, and experience the contemporary vibe of YOUR community…Dayton, Ohio. You will want to check Dayton.com every day so you don’t miss activities, trends, reviews, opinions, images, talking points and great advice on where to go and what to do from the people who know best…you, your friends and your neighbors. Dayton.com is, quite simply, “What to know. What to do. What to love…in Dayton.”
I relied on the Active Dayton event calendar. Will Dayton.com have the same info?
One of our core missions with Dayton.com is getting our audience engaged in this community. Events and things to do are at the core of that mission and we are building the best calendar in the region, one that will keep you entertained and help you find unique ways to spend your time in Dayton. We’ve added new categories like “Free & Cheap Events,” “Where to Shop,” “Dayton Maps,” “Play Outside,” as well as a variety of blogs and much more!
