The Downtown Buckeye Bash highlights five of our downtown businesses with the Taste of Downtown from 6:00-11:00 pm. Event goers can sample from an array of food offerings from these businesses then head over the beer tent to quench their thirst. “The Downtown Buckeye Bash was established to bring people downtown for a fun safe family friendly event. The partnership between Main Street Greenville and Darke County OSU Alumni is a natural fit for presenting this event to the community. All proceeds raised by the bash support both organizations’ programs,” states event chair, Brian Griesdorn.
