3rd on Third Dayton
Location: 3rd on Third Dayton

Always a great way to spend Sunday, 3rd on Third Market is back. The market is a great place to support local vendors, arts, makers, cottage food industry, and have some old-fashioned family fun. We continue our work as a launch pad for many small businesses and more than anything, that’s what we believe in: local business growing. The event is free for shoppers and a small fee for vendors. Come on and see who’s back, who’s new, and shop local.
