Front Street is Dayton's hub for art & culture
Front Street is celebrating sixty years as Dayton's hub for art & culture. With over 150 unique shops and boutiques to explore representing hundreds of artists, artisans, and entrepreneurs, Front Street has something for everyone! We even have a gym on site.
Front Street is a vibe, not a 9 to 5. We're open 7 days a week for visitors to roam our three large re-purposed industrial buildings. Each of our tenants maintain their own hours.
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK | 7:00AM – 7:00PM
SPECIAL SATURDAY SHOP HOURS | 11:00AM – 4:00PM
Individual tenant hours vary
Thank You for 60 Years!
We celebrated 60 years as Dayton's art & culture hub on Saturday, September 6. If you missed our 60th Anniversary Bash - you missed out! With incredible live music, delicious food trucks, a fun and funky vibe, and over 150 unique shops and boutiques, it was a weekend to remember!
We want to send a special thank you to the elected officials who attended. Commissioner Mary McDonald read proclamations on behalf of Governor Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Frank LaRose. Commissioner Carolyn Rice presented a proclamation on behalf of the Montgomery County Commissioners. Senator Willis Blackshear and Representative Andrea White brought proclamations from their respective chambers as well. Thank you for recognizing Front Street's contributions to our region and state!
See their remarks and more in the video above.
