Seattle Design Festival

PARK(ing) Day is a worldwide celebration that happens once a year, on the third Friday in September, where community members and groups turn on-street parking spaces into public places. This international event raises awareness about the importance of a walkable, livable, healthy city and helps people re-think how our streets can be used.

You can join the fun by visiting small parks created by your friends and neighbors! This year, Seattleites have planned the biggest PARK(ing) Day celebration yet, with 60 pop-up parks and pop-up protected bike lanes occurring across the city. Altogether, PARK(ing) Day will reclaim 110 parking spaces for public space on the day of the event. Plan your route with the printable PARK(ing) Day Map (download below).
