TIFFIN, OHIO – May 22, 2023 – Downtown Tiffin is thrilled to announce the addition of an exciting new event to its 3rd Thursday series: Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day. Taking place on Thursday, June 15, from 5 to 7 p.m., this celebration of music promises to kick off the summer season with a harmonious blend of talent and entertainment.

About Downtown Tiffin
The revitalization of downtown Tiffin began in 2011, when a group of community members came together to form “Tiffin Tomorrow”, with the goal of promoting and encouraging economic development in Downtown Tiffin, and creating plans, programs and actions to ensure long-term vitality and prosperity. In 2014, the City of Tiffin contracted with SIEDC to act as the downtown organization and “Tiffin Tomorrow” came under the SIEDC (now TSEP) umbrella as the “Downtown Development Board,” which serves as the governing board of the downtown organization. In 2015, Tiffin joined Heritage Ohio’s Main Street Program. For more information, click here.
