A strong draw for the LGBT community, Oak Lawn is home to nightclubs, restaurants and bars along bustling Cedar Springs Road, less than two miles from Downtown Dallas. Several events also draw big crowds throughout the year, including the annual Halloween Street Festival, Easter in the Park, and the Dallas Gay Pride parade.
