Klyde Warren Park’s annual fundraiser, Party in the Park, presented by Republic National Distributing Company, will be held on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The Honorary Chair for this special event is Lyda Hill. Event Chairs are Jennifer and John Gates, Michelle and John Grimes, Amy and Jamie Mentgen, Stephanie and Todd Phillips, and Jenny and Jeff Staubach.

Party in the Park celebrates everything about Klyde Warren Park, including the way it has transformed Dallas. Located in the heart of Big D, connecting downtown to uptown, this iconic destination offers an exceptional 360-degree view of the Dallas skyline. Last year’s celebration saw almost 1,000 of the city’s most involved philanthropists, corporate leaders and public officials come together to raise $1 million for Park programming and maintenance. This year’s celebration will include Hall wine at every table, stunning décor by Todd Events, special performances by Elvis Presley tribute artist Kraig Parker, dancing under the stars to '90s country tribute band, Straight Tequila Night, and a few surprises!

Managed by the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation, the 5.4-acre Klyde Warren Park relies on contributions from donors to serve the public daily and offer more than 1,300 free and diverse programs for its 1.3 million annual visitors.
