IWC will be hosting a table right outside our building for Portland Park(ing) Day! See details below.
Mark your calendar for Friday, September 20, 2024! On this exciting day, parking spots across downtown Portland, Maine will transform into vibrant community parks. Join us for a celebration filled with connection, creativity, and fun!
Portland Park(ing) Day is part of a global movement where cities reinvent public spaces. Portland Downtown and the City of Portland Sustainability Office, together with local nonprofits, organizations, and businesses, will create dynamic parklets that inspire and engage. Last year, we delighted visitors with the “Where’s Slugger?” photo gallery and a Baxter Woods replica. This year promises even more creativity!

Here’s How to Join the Fun:
Grab Your Map & Card: Pick up your event map and participation card from various locations in Portland, or download them closer to the event. The map will show all participating parklets.
Discover the Parklets: Wander through unique, interactive parklets around the city. Each one offers engaging activities designed to inspire and connect.
Collect Stamps: Visit each parklet and get your card stamped. The more stamps you collect, the greater your chances to win a prize!
Enter to Win: After gathering all stamps, return your completed card to enter a drawing for a $100 gift card to a downtown business of your choice, courtesy of Portland Downtown.
Stay Updated: We will share a digital map with parklet locations and printed cards for pick-up or download. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram or Facebook @PortlandDowntown.
