“It is our hope that these free public events at the Arcade will also generate traffic and interest in other areas of downtown,” said Megan Dunn Peters, Dayton Arcade community manager. “Guests at Halfway to Holly Days can expect to explore not just what the Arcade has to offer, but also check out other places to eat, drink, listen to music and enjoy summer in downtown Dayton.”
In addition to free concerts on Thursday and Friday at the Levitt Pavilion, there will be live entertainment curated by Culture Works with local performing arts groups in the Rotunda.
The Contemporary Dayton’s CoSHOP will be open as well with multicultural artists, woman creators and sustainable items.
Holly Days was originally held in 1992 and 1993 when the Arcade was known as Arcade Square before returning in 2021 and 2022.
This event is organized by Cross Street Partners, Friends of the Dayton Arcade and Culture Works Events. For more information, visit www.arcadedayton.com or Arcade’s Facebook or Instagram pages.
