Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

PARK(ing) Day

Sharing is caring!

Parking Day Downtown Wichita third Friday in September
PARK(ing) Day, Downtown Wichita

Looking for a fun, unique way to learn about local businesses? Friday, September 15, from 9am-5pm downtown Douglas Avenue parking spots will be transformed into miniature exhibits for local businesses. For instance, one parking spot will be turned into a mini park!

There are not a lot of other details about the event – part of the fun is the surprise of what one might find – but we do know that one of the locations is 530 E. Douglas. (See a summary of the schedule below.)

At other locations on Friday you may find live music, art exhibits, etc. I can’t wait to find out!

“PARK(ing) Day is an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks.”
