CHANGE IS COMING
The coronavirus pandemic is changing how cities socialize. 24-hour cities will lead the way to a new normal.
Inspired by 40+ initiatives taking place around the globe, 24HourDallas is a private sector-led nighttime economy commission.
Our overarching goal is to help make Dallas — particularly its center city — safer, more inclusive and more economically vibrant at night.
24HourDallas has sliced across the traditional economic and cultural tribes that divide us and assembled a diverse and proactive coalition.

Our volunteers will develop opportunities, make recommendations, and get in front of the challenges Dallas will face as it shifts from its 20th Century, 9-to-5 roots to a mode better suited for the new millennium.
More than 50 businesses and organizations and 100 volunteers have already joined us around a shared mission: Let's create a safe, vibrant and diverse nighttime culture for businesses, residents and guests.

Keep the light on, Dallas
A single, bare light is placed on the center of the stage when a theatre is unoccupied. In addition to symbolically (we think) keeping away ghosts, the "ghost light" also stands as a beacon for returning performers and audiences. With COVID - 19 wreaking havoc on Dallas' nighttime economy, please know we will be back.

Help stop human trafficking
24HourDallas volunteers and donors have developed two versions of anti-trafficking placards. These free signs can be placed in the one location trafficked persons usually have privacy: public restrooms at your business.
