Be a Part of Reimagining Chicago's Streets: Sponsor PARK(ing) Day 2025

Event Date: September 20th, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Location: Dovetail Brewery and Demo Brewing Company, Chicago, IL

On September 20th, 2025, we are transforming parking spaces in Chicago into vibrant public parks for our PARK(ing) Day event. We invite you to partner with us in this innovative celebration of community, creativity, and thoughtful urban design. This is a unique opportunity to align your brand with a forward-thinking event that champions a more livable and connected Chicago.

About PARK(ing) Day

PARK(ing) Day is a global movement that temporarily transforms metered parking spaces into "parklets." The goal is to call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of urban human habitat.

Our 2025 event will be held across two bustling brewery locations, creating a festival atmosphere designed to inspire and engage.
