10.) TEDxDayton 2016

One of Dayton’s most inspiring events continues to deliver. Here are some highlights from the idea exchange.

9.) The Longest Table Dayton

A community engagement initiative that was born at the UpDayton Summit, it brought together people from all neighborhoods and walks of life to break break and share conversation.

8.) Take a look at Yellow Springs’ new Mills Park Hotel

A new hotel opened in Yellow Springs this year (it’s also the only one in town). Spoiler alert: it’s beautiful (that porch, though!).

7.) Dayton Santa Pub Crawl 2016

Because sometimes you need a good excuse to dress up and get out of the house when it's cold outside -- and donating toys to the Toys for Tots org is as good as any. Volume 1 | Volume 2 | Volume 3 

6.) Secrets of the Oregon District's Balsley Building

We took a look inside the long-vacant building and found something pretty cool: an old wooden roller rink on the top floor.

5.) Alefest Dayton 2016

Beer is one of Dayton’s favorite pastimes, and the city has more unique brews to offer than ever before. It’s no surprise this is one of the most popular festivals.

4.) Art Ball 2015

It may have been last year’s event, but there’s nothing “last year” about the Art Ball.

3.) A look back at the Dayton Arcade

It’s captured the minds, hearts and conversation of many Daytonians. Here’s a look at the Arcade’s storied history -- and some joyful scenes from its heyday.

2.) Art Ball 2016

It bears repeating that the Art Ball is hands-down one of the most fabulous events, with some of the most spectacular red carpet scenes in town.

1.) Hauntfest on Fifth 2016

The Oregon District knows how to throw a party -- and Dayton knows how to do Halloween.
