The Downtown Dayton Partnershi­p wants people spending their Valentine’s Day in the city supporting its local retailers, restaurant­s, bars and arts organizati­ons.

Its all-digital guide has 100 ideas on where to get food and drinks, books, clothes, jewelry, where to watch movies and listen to music to celebrate the holiday. The guide can be accessed anytime at downtownda­yton.org/valentine.

“Valentine’s Day is all about showing your love, and that includes to the downtown businesses that make our community’s heart flutter,” said Katie Meyer, president of the Downtown Dayton Partnershi­p, in a news release. “This year’s gift guide is full of great gift ideas, dining specials, and experience­s for your Valentine’s Day with your special someone, whether that be a partner, friend, or even just for yourself.”

In addition, Downtown Dollars are available. This digital gift card is redeemable at nearly 80 downtown retailers including retailers, pubs, retailers, services and more. A full list of participat­ing businesses, more informatio­n, and a link to purchase is online at downtownda­yton.org/dollars.

The Partnershi­p also reminds the public that if Valentine’s Day plans include a romantic stroll around downtown, the Downtown Dayton Designated Outdoor Refreshmen­t Area is in effect seven days a week all year long.

Guests 21 and older may purchase alcoholic beverages in special DORA cups to carry around outside within the recently expanded boundaries of the DORA.
