WHAT: 14th annual Party in the Park

WHERE: Klyde Warren Park

THE 411: The park that boasts it's "Dallas’ town square" turned into an elegant party under the stars October 8 for its annual al fresco fundraiser.

Presented by PwC, the evening began with cocktails by the Nancy Best Fountain before guests gathered for a seated dinner, live music by Emerald City Band, and a fireworks finale.

Honorary chair Laurie Sands Harrison led the evening alongside event chairs Caroline Harrison Loehr and Gavin Loehr, Francis Harrison and Manuel Brito, and Bailey Harrison. Calvert Collins-Bratton is the recently named CEO of Klyde Warren Park.

The Texas Stock Exchange presented the dinner for the event, while First United Bank sponsored the cocktail reception.

In total, the 2026 Party in the Park raised a record $1.1 million for the downtown green space.

Since opening in 2012, the 5.4-acre park connecting Uptown and the Dallas Arts District has welcomed more than 2 million visitors annually. Proceeds from the fundraiser support the park’s daily operations, maintenance, and more than 1,300 free community programs each year.
