Made in Dayton

Coming to Our House in 2021

A Grassroots effort building and supporting thriving startups in the Gem City

There has never been a better time to support local makers and creatives. The Gem City has a legacy of fostering artisans and builders alike and is home to craftsmen, designers, engineer, makers, and inventors. Our parent company, the Dayton Emerging Fashion Incubator (DE-FI) LLC has never shied away from taking pride in the greatness of Dayton’s History, while nourishing its present, and now, we are honored to provide a platform for Dayton’s Future…Introducing Made in Dayton!


Made in Dayton is a unique celebration of the incredible creativity and vision of our neighbors right here in the 937 and 326. Taking place on the last Friday of each month in conjunction with our monthly Power Networking Experience Brain Dayton. All vendors are based locally and produce everything from clothing to candles, stationery to snacks and more. Made in Dayton will also feature a crawl of area mom and pop shops and will feature local food and drink vendors, fun activities and opportunities to learn more about our city in the day after our unique Brain Dating Experience. 


Made in Dayton is looking for Dayton based vendors and makers that create unique and handmade products of all kinds. Vendor qualifications include:

  • Own and operate their business in the Miami Valley.  All products  must be made in the Dayton area, which means no outsourcing or printing  with companies outside the Miami Valley region.
  • All products must be handmade and not mass produced. 
  • Have  an established social media presence on Facebook or Instagram or an established website, Etsy page, or other online vending  tool. 
  • Have  a streamlined brand with clear product descriptions. We love your creativity, however, we don’t accept “sell-all” craft  vendors. 
  • Complement the other accepted vendors at each Market. We try to curate a diverse breakdown of vendors so that we can offer our guests a  comprehensive shopping experience. 


Who said Americans don’t make anything anymore? They’ve clearly never been to Dayton.
