Dining Under the Stars is a signature summer fundraiser created by the Elyria Community Partnership in collaboration with the Lorain County Visitor’s Bureau. The event transforms Downtown Elyria into an elegant outdoor dining experience, where guests gather around beautifully set tables to enjoy an evening of great food, conversation, and live music by the fountain amid the historic scenery of Ely Square. Designed to showcase the beauty and charm of the city’s downtown, the evening also supports the Partnership’s mission—proceeds help strengthen downtown, advance local initiatives, and build a more vibrant Elyria for all.
