People can grab a bite of lunch at a nearby downtown restaurant, at one of the mobile food vendors in attendance, or even have local food delivered to Courthouse Square. Each weekday will feature free, Live entertainment.

“We’re ready to welcome back our downtown Dayton workforce as they return to their offices, and we invite everyone to take advantage of ample outdoor space at The Square is Where to sit with friends and coworkers you haven’t seen in person in quite some time,” said Sandra K. Gudorf, president of The Downtown Dayton Partnership.
