The Whimsical Windows and Elf Hunt contests are now on at businesses across downtown Dayton
December 2, 2024 (DAYTON, Ohio) – Be sure to take a close look at holiday decorations adorning downtown this December! The Downtown Dayton Partnership has announced the return of two favorite contests, Whimsical Windows and the Elf Hunt, as part of the month-long Dayton Holiday Festival. Both contests are happening now until Friday, December 27.
First-floor businesses around downtown Dayton have decorated their storefronts to help transform downtown Dayton into a winter wonderland and bring festive cheer to our community! As part of the annual Whimsical Windows contest, the public is invited to vote for their favorite decorative display to determine which downtown business will score a $500 cash prize. The public vote is open now on Dayton.com. Voting will be open until noon on Friday, December 27.
There’s another way for guests to join in the holiday fun this December, and it could even earn them Downtown Dollars! Simply find the elves hidden among decorations in first-floor storefront windows and text a photo to 937-304-4041 to enter. Each photo taken of a different elf counts as one entry. That means you could enter up to 28 times to win! A different winner will be drawn each week during the weeks of Dec. 2, 9, 16, and 23 to receive the weekly prize of $100 in Downtown Dollars. Downtown Dollars are redeemable at nearly 70 downtown businesses, never expire, and make a great one-size-fits-all gift. Learn more about Downtown Dollars and see where to use them at downtowndayton.org/dollars.

These annual contests are just two of the free, family-friendly activities happening as part of the Dayton Holiday Festival, presented by AES Ohio. Find more info on all of the holiday activities at daytonholidayfestival.org.
