Increase your exposure in Oak Cliff
Join one of Oak Cliff's most cherished traditions. The 18th annual Good Space Dash for the Beads and the Go Oak Cliff Mardi Gras Parade come together for one big community celebration in support of children's health and creativity.
Since 2009, the Dash has raised more than $450,000 for local schools and non-profits that promote physical fitness, healthy eating, and the arts.
