Join us for the kickoff to the holiday season in Downtown Dayton with the month long Dayton Holiday Festival, presented by AES Ohio!
The 52nd annual community tradition begins at 3 p.m. on Friday, November 29, with live entertainment, crafts, carnival rides, and more free holiday fun for the whole family at Courthouse Square and the surrounding areas. All of this leads up to the evening's main event at 7 p.m. - the Grande Illumination! Just moments after the tree, sponsored by Premier Health, is lit, the Dayton Children's Parade Spectacular in Lights will begin!
A full schedule and more event details will be posted on downtowndayton.org as the event gets closer!
The Dayton Holiday Festival is presented by The Downtown Dayton Partnership and AES Ohio and is sponsored by White-Allen Chevrolet, CareSource, and the Virginia W. Kettering Dayton Holiday Festival Fund. Additional support comes from the City of Dayton, Montgomery County, NECA/IBEW Electrical Professionals, Premier Health, Sinclair College, Wright-Patt Credit Union, Dayton Children's Hospital as well as media sponsors iHeartRADIO, Dayton.com, and Key-Ads.
