What is Sunday Streets?
Inspired by the Ciclovía in Bogotá, Colombia, Sunday Streets is a series of 10 free, fun events empowering local communities to transform 1-4 miles of car-congested streets into car-free community spaces for kids to play, seniors to stroll, organizations to connect and neighbors to meet.
