Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area

in Historic Downtown Bluffton, IN

Thanks to the efforts of Bluffton N.O.W. a designated outdoor refreshment area was established in August of 2025. This opens up flexibility for events held throughout downtown and the ability to browse a variety of establishments on your visit. Whether your enjoying live music at one of several venues, discovering the public art spaces, or shopping with friends, you can enjoy a drink as well.

Establishments welcoming DORA cups will have a GREEN sign

Those that do not welcome in cups will not have any signage.

More details and a map of DORA boundaries are available on www.blufftonnow.org
