“The carnival is a family-friendly event,” said Greg Wilcher, a Main Street Board member who operates Hickory Dickory Dock Retro Candies at 530 Sixth Ave. in Dayton. “We will have vendors, games, magicians, and we even expect an appearance from ‘Jack Sparrow’ from Pirates of the Caribbean. This is a chance for the whole family to enjoy the beginning of the July 4th holiday weekend close to home without spending a fortune and at an event where everyone can have fun.”
The Dayton Main Street Board facilitates the revitalization of Dayton’s historic Central Business District along the Sixth Avenue corridor and promotes historic preservation and businesses in the City of Dayton.
