CELEBRATE SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
Summer Streets
Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets. On select summer Saturdays our city’s usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced with open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in this whole new way.

- July 25, 2026 | Queens & Staten Island
- August 1, 2026 | Manhattan
- August 8, 2026 | Manhattan
- August 15, 2026 | Manhattan
