Parking spots along Main Street in Downtown Dallas were transformed into temporary public “park” installations today, to encourage social interaction and re-envision spaces. These photos were taken around noon, just as things were beginning to get into full swing.
The celebration will move over to Deep Ellum this evening from 6 p.m. to midnight. To learn more, visit parkingdaydallas.org.
