PERSON STREET MARKET
Who would have thought that an empty parking lot could blossom with such life? Government workers parked here during the week, but it sat unused on weekends. The Person Street Market is testimony to what is possible.
Located in the middle of Raleigh’s walkable downtown neighborhoods, across from the Governor’s mansion, this precious urban real estate was being wasted, a missing tooth in the fabric of our neighborhood.
The Person Street Market changes “parking lots to people spots,” making our city more humane. It becomes a place of human connection, with neighbors, children, dogs, local farmers, food trucks, musicians, dancers and more coming together. The transformation is remarkable.
