Building the Moments That Bring Tipp City Together
There is something special about a downtown curated to make the best memories together.
Kids laughing while playing games in the street. Families gathering for traditions they look forward to every year. Neighbors stopping to talk on the sidewalks. Local businesses and organizations working together to create experiences that make a community feel connected.
At the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, we believe those moments matter most.
As we look ahead to summer 2026, we are excited about the events, traditions, and new ideas still to come, and we are inviting the community to help us bring them to life.
This summer, downtown Tipp City will celebrate America 250 with a weekend focused on old-fashioned fun, hometown traditions, and bringing people together.
On July 3, South 2nd Street will fill with life size games, community activities, local businesses, and organizations helping create a festive downtown atmosphere. We are inviting downtown businesses and Friends of Downtown to join the celebration by setting up booths, games, giveaways, or family-friendly activities.
Then on July 5, the community will gather for a free picnic while cheering on the Canal Jumpers as they play vintage 1840s style base ball. Thanks to community support and grant funding, we are working to create an afternoon filled with food, fun, and memories that feel timeless.
This free downtown mini golf experience transforms local businesses and organizations into a community-wide putt putt course. Families explore downtown together while businesses create interactive holes and memorable experiences throughout the evening. This year we are keeping the event free for families and are currently looking for sponsors to help provide complimentary Kona Ice and family treats during the event.
We are also inviting Friends of Downtown and downtown businesses to set up along South 2nd Street to help add even more energy and activity to the night.
Fore the Love of Downtown will be DTCP’s very first community fundraiser golf scramble, designed to be approachable, welcoming, and fun for everyone. Whether you golf every weekend or have never participated in a scramble before, this event is about more than golf. It is about creating another opportunity for people to gather, connect, and support downtown Tipp City. Participants can register individually, as teams, or as sponsors, and we are currently looking for businesses and organizations that want to help make this first-year event a success.
What makes all of these events possible are the people standing behind them. The businesses that sponsor. The volunteers who give their time. The organizations that show up. The families that participate. The Friends of Downtown members who believe in the future of Tipp City.
At DTCP, we believe preserving, promoting, and enhancing downtown is really about creating experiences that make people feel connected to this community and proud to call Tipp City home. Every sponsorship helps create opportunities. Every volunteer helps build memories. Every event helps tell the story of our town. And for that, we are incredibly thankful.
If you are interested in sponsoring, volunteering, participating, or learning more about upcoming events, we would love to connect with you. Together, we are building the moments that make Tipp City feel like home.
