This event invites you to explore and support the Black-owned shops, studios, salons, restaurants, cafes, and more in downtown Dayton. You'll start your tour with coffee at Third Perk and spend the afternoon shopping, experiencing, and enjoying as many of the businesses as you can.
The event aims to build awareness of downtown’s Black-owned businesses, to encourage participants to engage with them, and to generate new customers and support for Black business. Participants will be given a map of Black businesses located throughout downtown Dayton. They will travel at their own pace from business to business. At each stop, the map will allow them to document their visit. Attendees who visit a minimum number of businesses during the event will be eligible for raffle prizes.
Partners: Downtown Dayton Partnership,Greater West Dayton Incubator, and Dayton Young Black Professionals
