The event will involve the closure of segments of streets to car traffic – only human-powered modes will be allowed, from pedestrians to bicycles and everything in between.
The closed streets will be transformed into “urban playgrounds”, with food vendors, live music, kid’s areas, fitness classes, and more.This first Open Streets will take place on Magnolia Avenue, 5th Avenue, and Allen Avenue, forming a path linking the hotspot of Magnolia to the neighborhood streets of Fairmount (and its two parks, Fairmount Park on 5th and Fire Station Park on Allen). Some parts of the route will be chock-full of activities and vendors, while some will be more relaxed, allowing the gentle enjoyment of a neighborhood not dominated by cars.
