PARK(ing) Day, a global event temporarily repurposing street parking spaces into parks, has undergone many iterations in its decade-long Nashville tenure.

In 2023, Civic Design Center switched things up and celebrated the city’s first permanent parklet at East Nashville’s Wilburn Street Tavern following a community-driven design competition.

Now, the free-to-attend event is back on Saturday, Sept. 21 with a block party and the unveiling of a second permanent parklet outside Bagelshop in Donelson. Festivities begin at 11 a.m. with performances by four artists throughout the afternoon. Over 20 vendors will also be set up, like Ugly Duck Vintage, Yoga Muttz Movement Lounge, and Phat Bites.

Make note of these special times:

11:30 a.m. | Donelson Library storytime
12 p.m. | Golden Cone Awards (participants are awarded for design components)
12:30 p.m. | Ribbon cutting
2-5 p.m. | Homegrown hosts Homie Hour with $1 off pints
