What is Open Streets?
Strive Beyond Folkmoot USA, are teaming up to open up Brook Street to walking, biking and healthy movement of all kinds at an Open Streets event. This car-free event invites you to make the street your playground for the day. The fun includes: Bike Skills Rodeo, Live Music, Bike Raffles, Anything-That-Rolls Races, 4-Square and Other Street Games.
What’s the Route?
Brook Street, behind Folkmoot USA will be opened to activities between Virginia Ave. and S. Main St., with additional activities and Marketplace in and around Folkmoot USA.
How do I Get There?
Open Streets is all about active transportation. Bicycle Haywood is leading a family-friendly bike ride from Whole Bloomin Thing to Virginia Ave along a safe 1.5 mile route. The route rolls out at 3pm. And if you prefer to drive, you can park in designated satellite parking areas, all within a 1/4 mile walk of the route.
How can I participate?
Just come out ready for active fun and discovery, Saturday, May 11, 3-8pm. Bring your favorite things that roll… bikes, skates, skateboard, whatever, and discover a lot of fun activities like yoga in the street and chalk art.
Also, we are looking for volunteers and participation partners.
Volunteers simply help setup, tear down, and keep attendees engaged. Participation Partners are clubs, organizations or companies who have an interest in growing active transportation and wellness and who would like to provide information and host a simple activity, game or exercise (we’ll help you think that part through.)
Where do we sign up?
This link is the one-stop signup form for interested participant groups (you can have a table and host an activity), volunteers, and just general interest:
