What Is Black Friday Parking?
#BlackFridayParking is a nationwide event drawing attention to the harmful nature of minimum parking requirements. Parking minimums create a barrier for new local businesses and fill up our cities with empty parking spaces that don’t add value to our places.
Every year on Black Friday, one of the biggest shopping days of the year, people all across North America snap photos of the (hardly full) parking lots in their communities to demonstrate how unnecessary these massive lots are. Participants upload those photos to social media with the hashtag #blackfridayparking.
How Can I Participate?
On November 25, get outside and take pictures of excessive or underused parking in your town.
Upload your photos to Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram with the hashtag #blackfridayparking.
Check out other people’s photos from across the country. Comment, share and spread the message about how unnecessary and wasteful all this parking is! You can do this directly on social media sites following the #blackfridayparking hashtag, or head to our website on November 25, where we’ll post a stream of all the action.
