Deerfield Township Announces Grand Opening of District at Deerfield
Deerfield Township, Ohio (September 17, 2025) - The District at Deerfield will host a grand opening celebration on Sunday, September 21. The event will start at 11 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the one-acre park in the center of the development, located at 5249 District Park Drive in Deerfield Township, Warren County.
“The District at Deerfield is a good example of the power of public-private partnership and collaboration,” said Ryan Silverman, president of Silverman and Company, the property developer. “We shared the vision of Deerfield Township leaders to create a true downtown, a gathering place for residents, visitors and businesses within the township. It's been a tremendous collaboration.”
With several businesses already open, the 28-acre mixed-use development property features retail, restaurants and luxury apartments. 50 West Brewery was the first tenant to open in the District last year and was soon followed by Jeni’s Ice Cream. This summer, PINS Mechanical Company opened, followed by 101 Craft Kitchen this week.
“We’re thrilled for friends and family to discover all The District at Deerfield has to offer”, said Deerfield Trustee Lelle Lutts Hedding. “Our residents want to eat, sleep, and play locally, and we’ve created that space – a place where a simple meal becomes a special event in a safe, warm, and inviting atmosphere. We can’t wait to share it with our community.”
Other free family-oriented activities for the grand opening include face painting, music and oversized outdoor games from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Plus, visitors will have a chance to meet one of the Ben-Gal cheerleaders on-site and snap a photo. A football game watch party will take place in the park as the Cincinnati football team’s Sunday game is broadcast on two big screens from 1 to 4 p.m.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase from local restaurants and food trucks on Sunday. Jeni’s will give free ice cream to the first 100 guests, beginning at 11 a.m., and all guests may enter to win gift cards in a Township raffle throughout the day. There is plenty of free parking in and around the District.
The District at Deerfield operates as a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). This designation permits the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages from participating establishments throughout the designated District boundaries, which include the park area.
The District at Deerfield is a 28-acre mixed-use development situated in the heart of Deerfield Township, located along Parkway Drive between Mason-Montgomery Road and Wilkens Boulevard. Featuring restaurants, shops, luxury apartments and an inviting park, the District at Deerfield is a community resource created in collaboration by Deerfield Township and Silverman and Company.
