What is Out on 5th?
Out on 5th is the street closure of Fifth Street in the Oregon District of downtown Dayton on weekends.
Closing down Fifth Street from Patterson Boulevard to Wayne Avenue every Friday night through Sunday evening allows
our business district to open up the street for guests to shop – dine – and relax in the open air.
Out on 5th gives restaurants and bars in the district room to expand patio seating into the streets.
Fifth Street is filled with public seating to allow guests room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
Retail shops can use extra sidewalk space in front of their business for sales. Looking to hold a retail pop-up? Apply here.
Local entertainment will be in the district every weekend to enhance the atmosphere. Looking to be an entertainer? Apply here.
