A Brief History of Decks In the Park 

Decks in the Park is the city's premier monthly electronic music event that is FREE and fun for all to enjoy in the community. We are one of the largest of our  kind in the country and now draws 4000-5000+ people per event. Our team is made up od DJs, business people and just generally good hearted people who volunteer their time to make Dallas a more enjoyable place to live.  

For those of you who are new to Decks... think of a music festival like Coachella, then subtract 195K people, condense it into 4 hrs. and imagine it free and fun for all ages to enjoy on a regular basis. Not only that, we give Big Brothers Big Sisters and Music Weapon who are great local charities a voice at our events and also donates 10% of our net profits to them.

 -What Decks Needs to Continue-
 
Decks is now going on its 4th year and only happen if we get the generous support of our fans to donate and our sponsors partners to help fund the event. That being said, we can’t do this without you. This event production costs alone to put  Decks on for one event is $15,000. We do get some occasional funding from official sponsors but that doesn't cover the entire costs. That being said, we are only asking for a portion of the costs listed below for now.

The great news is that if we have 4,000 people attend who donate $3 per person that will be $12,000 per event which will allow us to continue to have this monthly event free. Every dollar helps!
