Park(ing) Day ~ Curb the Power: Micro Acts of Civil Joy

September 19 is Park(ing Day), and also the final day of the Future Green Plaza.

Come join Depave and other friends of the Future Green Plaza, in a day of enjoyment of people taking up space in the street, and join us in celebrating the final day of the summer plaza.

Park(ing) day is a global, public, participatory project where people across the world temporarily repurpose curbside parking spaces and convert them into public parks and social spaces to advocate for safer, greener, and more equitable streets for people.

Curb the Power: Micro Acts of Civil Joy is this year’s Park(ing) Day theme!

A celebration of small, joyful disruptions in the face of oversized authority. As public space becomes more regulated, surveilled, and commercialized, we’re inviting neighbors, artists, and activists to reclaim a patch of curb and reimagine it as a site of resistance—not through confrontation, but through creativity. Whether it’s a free library, a pop-up tea salon, a quiet garden, or a radical nap zone, each installation is a micro-act of civil joy: public, participatory, and beautifully disobedient. Let’s remind each other that not all power wears a uniform—and that delight, too, can be a form of protest.
