DALLAS – The Office of Arts and Culture invites the public to attend the free citywide celebration of Dallas’ vibrant spirit, creativity, and community at the inaugural “214 Day: Show Love for Dallas” from noon to 1 p.m., Friday, February 14, 2025 at the Dallas City Hall Lobby.

“214 Day is about coming together to celebrate what makes Dallas special—the people, the culture, and the artists that bring our city to life,” said Office of Arts and Culture Director, Martine Elyse Philippe. “It’s a chance for all of us to share our pride and show love for the place we call home.”

The kick-off event will feature live performances opening with Master of Ceremonies Dezi 5 and band, followed by Bruce Wood Dance Dallas, Poet Laureate Dr. Mag Gabbert, Community Artist Program artist Urban Arts Collective, and the Mavs ManiACCs. Attendees can celebrate and show love for Dallas, connect with fellow community members, and experience the arts in a way that only Dallas can deliver.

The standout feature of the event will be a community quilt unveiling, a collective masterpiece that symbolizes the unity and unique expressions of the city’s thriving, inclusive community. Attendees will also be invited to contribute to a creative expression of #DallasCulture and community pride with an interactive art activity.
