Downtown Dayton hours and options for New Year’s holiday

Dayton, Ohio – The Downtown Dayton Partnership is encouraging visitors to continue celebrating the holidays downtown at local shops and restaurants.

DDP said that you can support your local businesses safely. “The health and safety of staff and patrons has been a top priority for downtown businesses for months, and with current advisories, businesses continue to follow socially-distanced protocols and expand their “from afar” options,” the organization wrote in a release.

These businesses have special offers or hours for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day:
