THE SQUARE IS WHERE

Each summer, the Downtown Dayton Partnership and Montgomery County present The Square Is Where, featuring free live entertainment and much more, Tuesdays-Fridays on downtown’s Courthouse Square.

Bring your friends and coworkers for a midday break outside!

A variety of performers take the stage around the noontime lunch hour on most weekdays (Tuesdays-Fridays) during the summer months (May through September). Entertainment includes bands, dancers, live trivia, arts groups, acoustic musicians and more.

Food vendors also set up on Courthouse Square each weekday, allowing downtown workers and others to grab lunch from a vendor or a downtown restaurant and take in the entertainment while enjoying the outdoors downtown.

Other features of the program include patio umbrella and bistro-style tables, cornhole, mini-golf, giant chess and checkers, and other games and activities. Fun tournaments and other events also are planned to help you enjoy taking a break from the office, meeting up with friends and coworkers, and enjoying the sunshine during lunch!

Be sure to “Like” The Square Is Where on Facebook to get the latest updates on upcoming entertainment and more. You can also request to receive regular emails about what’s planned for The Square Is Where.
