The Dayton Community Development Association will be meeting tomorrow, 4/16, at 6:30 in the Palmer Creek Lodge lower level. The DCDA is looking for community members who have an interest in volunteering and would like to contribute to Dayton’s growth and improvement. We’re currently working on plans for our annual Friday Night Music in the park for the summer months. Please consider joining us and sharing your talents to help support our wonderful community.
Please take the downtown Dayton survey
Oregon Main Street is conducting an assessment of the Dayton Community Development Association. The assessment team will provide feedback to guide future efforts in sustaining and enhancing downtown Dayton. This is a service we provide to designated programs that are part of our statewide network. Responses to this survey will be used as part of the process to identify community priorities for downtown Dayton and provide recommendations to the Dayton Community Development Association.
In working with communities, Oregon Main Street uses the Main Street Approach tm which was developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Main Street Approachtm is a process communities can use to sustain and enhance traditional downtown districts by building on the history, character, and assets unique to each community. Oregon Main Street is part of Heritage Programs in Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. We appreciate your time in answering these questions.
Update: The survey is now closed. Thank you for participating!

Dayton Friday Nights Sponsorship Opportunities
The Dayton Community Development Association (DCDA), like many other nonprofit organizations in our community, depend on sponsorships and donations from businesses and friends like you to carry out a large part of its mission. The DCDA is a volunteer led, volunteer driven 501(c)(3) that works to revitalize Dayton’s downtown and is a participating member in the Oregon Main Street program.
The DCDA plans and executes several events in Dayton throughout the year, our most attended being the Dayton Friday Night Concert series. This event was named “2014 Best New Event Series” by the Oregon Main Street Program, and enjoys 300-500 visitors each night, with over 555 volunteer hours contributed by community members. This family-friendly party during the Summer months is designed to draw hundreds of people to our downtown square on Friday evenings to socialize, shop, eat, play, and support our local businesses. Each night includes cruise ins, musical performances, and vendors in the downtown park.
There are many ways your organization will benefit as a sponsor of the DCDA and Dayton Friday Nights.
Identification & Exposure
Create identification with a major community attraction which draws from 300-500 visitors to the downtown streets of Dayton every Friday night throughout the Summer months.
Perform a lasting and important community service
Dayton Friday Night sponsors help promote healthy, positive family activities that are available to all citizens regardless of age, status or income.
The event series is becoming a valuable economic asset to Downtown Dayton by drawing customers to local stores, restaurants, and vendors in the park.
Sponsors are encouraged to play an active role in the Festival
The Dayton Friday Night experience offers sponsors team building and volunteer opportunities, with the option to test market, demonstrate, or sample your product. It’s also an excellent venue to develop new business relationships and expand current contacts.
