On the second Saturday of each month, 25+ local and national artists and venues display their work on Ray Street in the heart of North Park.
Though it is likely not enough for a stand-alone date, Ray at Night is a hit for any art aficionado. It can also be a great a conversation starter for a first date, and usually a pleasant surprise for the unsuspecting partner (in the ‘look what WE found!’ category).

Saturday night street parking in North Park can be sparse unless you’re wiling to venture onto side streets that leave you with a bit of a walk, but for a sure thing go for the parking structure at North Park Way and 29th St. When the lot is attended you can pay cash, otherwise cards are accepted by machines. It was a stroke of genius that they built the parking structure.
Ray at Night runs from 6pm – 10pm second Saturday of each month
