Explore downtown & win prizes with Downtown Dayton Summer Bingo
The Downtown Dayton Partnership (DDP) is excited to debut a new feature of the DP&L Summer in the City lineup: Downtown Dayton Summer Bingo. The game will begin on Friday, July 3, and players can complete a bingo of challenges for the chance to win downtown Dayton prizes throughout the entire month of July.
Players will complete “challenges” that will have them exploring downtown Dayton dining, arts, culture, shopping and entertainment. The challenges include opportunities to explore in-person following social-distancing guidelines, or tasks that can be completed online from home. If they complete five challenges in a row on the game card to make a “bingo,” players can submit their card into the drawing to win prizes. Join in the fun at our Facebook event page.
“Our goal is for players to explore downtown, support our small business community, learn about a new spot in downtown Dayton, and continue to safely visit downtown restaurants, shops, arts galleries and more throughout the summer,” said Sandra K. Gudorf, president of the Downtown Dayton Partnership.
The full bingo board of challenges will debut on Friday, July 3, at noon on Downtown Dayton Summer Bingo page of the DDP website and on the Facebook event page.
