Summer Streets, an eagerly anticipated annual celebration, transforms the bustling streets of New York City into a vibrant haven for the community to revel in. Taking place on select Saturdays from 7 am to 1 pm, this extraordinary event opens up miles of the city's thoroughfares in both directions, inviting people to engage in playful activities, leisurely strolls, and invigorating bike rides.
With a commitment to promoting healthy recreation and encouraging sustainable transportation choices, Summer Streets has become a cherished tradition in the heart of the city. As participants traverse the car-free streets, they not only enjoy the freedom to move without vehicular constraints but also have the opportunity to pause and partake in complimentary activities at designated rest stops along the route.
In a groundbreaking move, Summer Streets expanded its reach in 2023 to encompass all five boroughs, creating an expansive network of nearly 20 miles of car-free streets. This evolution reflects the event's dedication to inclusivity and ensuring that the joyous spirit of Summer Streets is accessible to residents across the entire city. Join us in celebrating this unique blend of recreation, community, and sustainability, as Summer Streets continues to redefine and enliven New York City's public spaces.
