Tacoma's Park(ing) Day - 2019

  • 30 Parking Spaces along Pacific (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Park(ing) Day is an international event in which artists, citizens, and businesses will temporarily transform a metered parking spot into temporary public space. Park(ing) Day’s mission is to call attention to the need for more urban open space, generate discussion and debate around how public space is utilized, and to improve the quality of urban habitat.

We are excited to partner with fellow recycled fashion enthusiast ReStyle Clothing Company to be apart of this annual event! Come find us, learn more about our current work and make a t-shirt bag!
