Downtown Dayton’s Center for Innovation, Inspiration, & Community

The Arcade isn't just a revitalized historic point-of-pride for downtown Dayton. It's a one-of-its-kind innovation center aimed to drive Dayton into the future. We’re a hybrid space for visitors and businesses to coexist and feed off of each other’s passions. The Arcade is more than a collection of incredible buildings; The Arcade is a gathering space for fostering unique connections to develop the ideas, partnerships, and organizations that will enrich the Dayton community.

This is not the Arcade of the past, this is the Arcade of the future, which truly sets the stage for memorable events!

You have the ability to book The Rotunda, The Tank Inspired by CenterPoint Energy, and The Galleria individually or for a truly immersive event experience you can book them all together. Our Event Directors can help you navigate which event spaces will work best for your needs.
