Celebrate the Dayton Holiday Festival in Your Downtown
The Dayton Holiday Festival is your source for family-friendly holiday fun in downtown Dayton. Started by Mrs. Virginia Kettering in 1972 so that all children could enjoy the holiday season regardless of their economic means, the Festival continues today with free attractions for the community.
Each year the festival kicks off Thanksgiving weekend with the Grande Illumination and the Dayton Children’s Parade, and the fun continues throughout the month of December with activities like the Tike’s Shop, a family movie series at The Neon, carriage rides, and more!
