About this Event
In partnership with the Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Civic Design Center is shutting down a portion of 6th Ave N in Germantown to celebrate reclaiming public space for pedestrians and unveil the new parklet in front of The Cupcake Collection.
We have been hosting PARK(ing) Day in Nashville for 13 years. New to PARK(ing) Day? PARK(ing) Day is a global, public, participatory art and design project which started in San Francisco in 2005. It is a day where people across the globe temporarily repurpose street parking spaces into tiny parks and places for art, play, and activism. Learn more about past interventions in Nashville.
In our 3rd year of the Parklet Design Competition, we are not only bringing another permanent parklet to Nashville, but we are committed to celebrating the Germantown community where the parklet is being built. We couldn’t do it without JE Dunn, whose construction team is donating time and materials to bring this parklet to the neighborhood.
During the Block Party, we will have *20+ hyperlocal food and retail vendors* that represent Germantown. You might have brunch at Monell’s, Taco Mamasita, or Mother’s Ruin before hanging out in the street or you might grab a cupcake from The Cupcake Collection and enjoy it in the parklet. There will be local purveyors to satisfy any craving! Plus, there will also be *live music.* Check back here soon to see the list of vendors on the block.
