Last week, a few of our neighbors wanted to host a Whistlemania event in Ravenswood and asked if we were able to provide some space to spread out so they could assemble whistle kits for an evening. It’s been one way that Chicagoans have been able to organize to protect their neighbors.

This global event transforms parking spaces into social spots, and we’re celebrating with a Radler Party! German for “cyclist,” Radlers are a refreshing, low-alcohol beer-and-soda blend made for bike culture—just like Park(ing) Day celebrates rethinking how we move through Chicago.
