Pre-COVID, Parties for the Park brought in a THIRD of Durham Central Park’s operating budget! What is Parties for the Park? Every Fall, community members open their homes or businesses to park patrons and raise money for DCP! These parties range from elaborate multiple course dinners, to house shows with down-home cooking, to light appetizers and wine tastings! They can be as small as a table set for 8 or a big outdoor event with 150 people! We love our Party hosts! They conceive and plan the party while we handle all ticket sales and promotion, and of course, the host gets all the fame and glory
