Thanks-Giving Square serves as a common ground, a sanctuary, where there can be a confluence of faiths and traditions in discussion of shared concern. In Dallas, where it is located, Thanks-Giving Square is a central meeting place where the diverse people of the city can use understanding. Reservations are required at least two weeks in advance. Tours last 45 - 50 minutes and includes information about the Thanksgiving traditions in Texas, the US and other countries. During the tour, each person is giving the opportunity to express their personal thanks by placing a card in the chapel bowl or speaking aloud in the Ring Of Thanks sculpture.
Information is available in the exhibit areas enabling self-guided tours.
Bus parking is available in the Parking Lane on Pacific Street between Akard and Ervay. Vehicular parking is in a nearby underground parking garage. A wide range of groups from the larger metroplex community utilize the space at Thanks-Giving Square to hold meetings and programs. The programs must be preapproved by the staff to insure that the content and purpose help support and promote the value of gratitude. Thanks-Giving Square is considered neutral turf where divergent groups may gather in a spirit of appreciation to build bridges of communication.
