New York City’s streets are trading traffic for fun this August, inviting locals and visitors alike to roam freely and soak up the summer vibes.
Summer Streets returns bigger than ever, transforming more than 400 blocks across all five boroughs into pedestrian-friendly playgrounds. In Manhattan, a continuous stretch from the Brooklyn Bridge to Dyckman Street will be closed to traffic for three Saturdays—August 2, 9, and 16—from 7 AM to 3 PM, rain or shine.
What You Can Do
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, Summer Streets offers something for everyone:
- Walk, bike, or run the full length of Manhattan—no cars, just city vibes.
- Catch live performances and cultural showcases at rest stops like Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard (110th–125th St).
- Join free fitness classes, from yoga to Zumba, or take part in the NYRR Start Line Series for beginner-friendly runs and walks.
- Explore interactive public art, giveaways, and pop-up experiences.
Why It’s Worth It
It’s not every day you get to stroll Park Avenue without a single horn honking. Whether you're soaking up skyline views, dancing in the streets, or just enjoying a slower pace, Summer Streets is a rare chance to experience Manhattan in motion—without the gridlock.
