If you are bringing your people to Oak Lawn for two of the neighborhood’s biggest events of the year, stay where the weekend is happening. The Cedar Springs Merchants Association is pleased to welcome the Daisy Polk Inn and Dickason Cottage as a preferred place to stay for Oak Lawn Live and Pride weekend.
Oak Lawn Live: Music & Arts Festival takes over four blocks of Cedar Springs Road on Saturday, September 19, from noon to 10 p.m. The festival will feature three stages of music, visual artists, neighborhood food and drinks, vendors, and community experiences throughout the Oak Lawn Gayborhood. The following afternoon, the Pride in Dallas Parade on Cedar Springs steps off at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 20.
The Daisy Polk Inn and Dickason Cottage are only a stone’s throw from both events. Guests can enjoy the festival, spend the evening in the neighborhood, and walk back to their accommodations without coordinating multiple cars or rides across Dallas. The next morning, everyone is already in Oak Lawn and ready for the Pride parade.
One of the biggest advantages is the ability to book an entire house for your circle. Instead of dividing everyone among separate hotel rooms, friends can stay together, get ready together, and have a shared place to reconnect between events. With two neighboring historic houses that function together, the property offers private bedrooms, common rooms, porches, outdoor spaces, and room for the weekend to feel like an experience rather than a hotel reservation.
The two houses also give guests two different sides of historic Oak Lawn. The 1910 Daisy Polk Inn brings Arts and Crafts architecture, original details, European and New England antiques, and more than a century of Dallas history. Next door, the 1904 Dickason Cottage has a quieter European character and a New Orleans-style patio made for morning coffee, evening conversation, and time with friends.
That history is paired with the personal attention that has long defined the Daisy Polk experience. Guests are welcomed into the neighborhood with local recommendations, responsive hosting, and white-glove service that feels personal rather than corporate. It is a strong choice for visitors who want historic luxury, privacy, and the freedom to experience Oak Lawn on foot.

Festival and Pride weekends bring thousands of people into the neighborhood, so groups should make their plans early. For direct questions about the two properties, private arrangements, or group accommodations, contact the Daisy Polk Inn at (214) 770-5993 or hoteldieu@sbcglobal.net.
