Enjoy Open Streets Minneapolis where a Minneapolis street is closed to motorized vehicles and open for biking, walking and fun with food, activities and music!

We love to attend the Open Streets Minneapolis events! This is a great opportunity to explore an area. Even if it’s not your neighborhood, you are still welcome to attend.

About Open Streets Minneapolis:

Open Streets Minneapolis transforms major City streets into car-free places for one day. Open Streets are events that:

• Occur on a street for a limited amount of time
• Shut down car traffic during the event

Open Streets events do not have a designated beginning or endpoint. Events take place on major business and commercial corridors. These events encourage visitors to discover businesses, parks, and activities along the route.
