Summer Streets 2019: First 3 Saturdays in August

August 9, 2019 by Teresa Wang

Summer Streets 2018

 

Join us for the annual celebration known as Summer Streets, a “take-over” of some of NYC’s most popular streets and neighborhoods. Traffic is redirected and locals and visitors alike have a chance to hit the pavement on their feet instead of on wheels. On three consecutive Saturdays in August, nearly seven miles of NYC’s streets are opened for people to play, run, walk and bike. During last years celebration, more than 300,000 people took to the “Summer Streets”. Families will enjoy fitness classes and showcases, as well as sports activities and some great sports demos, so don’t miss it!

FiDi Families Insiders: Our favorites include: ziplining at Foley Square, fitted for a free helmet at 24th street & Park Ave, free food samples at 25th & Park Ave, and Children’s Corner at 51st street & Park Ave.

Date(s): August 3rd, August 10th and August 17th

Time: 7am – 1pm 

Locations: from Brooklyn Bridge/Foley Square to Central Park, along Park Avenue and connecting streets

Cost: Free

Ages: All ages welcome and designed for all ages and ability levels
