About

Open Streets Nashville is on Main Street on October 30th this year! Check out this recap video from last year:

Open Streets Nashville is a program that temporarily closes the streets to cars to allow people to reconnect to their communities, get active, and play in the street. Free to the public, the event turns the streets into a park space that connects diverse portions of the city and offers communities the opportunity to experience their city streets in a whole new way.

Open Streets provide stimulus to local businesses, offer a setting for greater civic participation and integration, and build support for the provision of broader transportation choices.​ Bogota, Colombia is the birth place of Ciclovia, but since its inception many cities across the country and the world have since adopted and adapted the tradition as their own. Many peer cities like Atlanta, Louisville, Charlotte, and more have adopted Open Streets style programs into the fabric of their civic life. 

Open Streets Nashville is hosted through a partnership between Walk Bike Nashville, the Nashville Department of Transportation, and community partners. 

See the list of activities and information about temporarily installed protected bike paths for Open Streets on our Route page!

 

Handicap parking will be available in a lot accessible from Woodland Street, just west of S 9th St.
