You can never be sure what treats are in store – like Ronald Walker dressed as a MoonPie last year – during Park(ing) Day, a global event where citizens, artists and activists transform metered parking spaces into temporary public Park(ing) places.

This year in Chattanooga, festivities will be centered on M.L. King Boulevard and Main Street, offering interactive and recreational activities, art, music, samples and lounge areas in what are normally car-friendly rectangles.

Sample the fun from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16.
