Launch Dayton Startup Week is the second week of September and the Dayton Arcade has announced a new event promoting local entrepreneurship and celebrating community spirit.

“Startup The Block” is 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12 in the Arcade’s Rotunda and outside on Fourth Street and Pretzinger Lane.

Attendees can expect:

  • A vendor market with more that 30 local startup entrepreneurs featuring anything from handmade crafts and artisanal goods to food and beverages.
  • An outdoor block party with additional vendors, a live DJ, food trucks and a beer truck.
  • Performances by local musicians and entertainers curated by Culture Works.

“Friends of the Dayton Arcade is excited to partner with the Entrepreneurs’ Center for the first year of Startup the Block, and we hope this becomes an annual event,” said Megan Dunn Peters, marketing and community partnerships manager for Cross Street Partners. “Startup Week has such a rich history of supporting Dayton’s entrepreneurs and showcasing that community with a block party and vendor market serves as the perfect conclusion to this year’s event.”

Startup Week is a free conference featuring discussions, business workshops and networking opportunities.
