2nd Street Public Market

Located in a renovated Historic Freight House at the corner of 2nd & Webster St. in downtown Dayton, the market features over 50 inside vendors year-round and local farmers outside during the growing season. Operating every Thursday and Friday from 11:00am to 3:00pm, Saturday from 8:00am to 3:00pm year-round, and Sundays from 11:00am to 3:00pm from June through December, it has become a staple in the community for fresh, local goods.

The market emphasizes supporting local agriculture by providing a venue for farmers and producers to sell their goods directly to consumers. This direct-to-consumer model helps reduce food miles and supports the local economy.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of prepared food vendors on-site, making it a perfect spot for a meal while shopping. The market also hosts entertainment and various events, with updates available through their monthly mailing list and Facebook page.
