PARKing Day
PARK(ing) Day 2021 is September 17!
While we aren't able to celebrate in the streets this year, we are happy to bring you pictures from years past as well as suggestions for what you can do to celebrate PARK(ing) Day this year.

There's still lots you can do to celebrate creative re-use of our streets today. You may have noticed that many parking areas have been turned into outdoor eateries and other safe spaces to celebrate Cambridge. We encourage you to take time on September 18, PARK(ing) Day, to instead visit your favorite local outdoor restaurant, check out a new park, stroll down a shared street, or pre-register for an event at Starlight Square.
