Visitors can accomplish their weekly shopping, purchase homemade gifts or sit back and people watch. On Saturdays, local performers are on hand to entertain the crowds.
Walking through merchant row, you're sure to find unique gifts with over a dozen separate handcrafting vendors. If you're lucky, you may even see artisands demonstrating their special crafts. Fresh flowers are always available to freshen up your home.
After a day of shopping, sink your teeth into something sweet or savory. The market has a wide range of dishes specializing in Mediterranean cuisine, cabbage rolls, Latin American favorites, Thai, meat pies and desserts galore!
If you're a fan of urban repurposing, you'll be glad to know that the market is housed in the former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad warehouse that was originally built in 1911. In 2001, the building was renovated with the help of PNC Bank. Today, the market is owned by Five Rivers MetroParks and is Dayton's seventh-busiest attraction, serving roughly 370,000 people per year.
