Most people who know Our Streets Minneapolis (formerly the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition) know our biggest event Open Streets Minneapolis. Our Streets hosted the first Open Streets Minneapolis event in 2011 after working with the city for two years to make it happen. Slowly through the last seven years, we have increased the number and locations of Open Streets events. This summer we had seven Open Streets events!

Get ready folks, Open Streets Northeast is just around the corner! Come out on Sunday, August 6th from 11 am until 5 pm to experience the neighborhood in a whole new way.

We have 3 miles of streets open for you to explore by foot or by wheels, so grease your bike chain and take out your walking shoes because you won't want to miss this event! The new route this year will span from Hennepin Ave to 5th St NE, up to 22nd Ave NE and over to Central Ave. You can explore all three nodes of activity and the open space to roam in between.

Here's a map of the event along with some highlights so you can plan out your day!

After an incredibly successful event at Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue that drew a crowd of almost 20,000 people, Our Streets Minneapolis is busy gearing up for another edition of Open Streets... this time in NORTHEAST.

The size of our events are growing each year which means that we need lots of volunteers to power up the event and make sure that it's a success!

Here's how you can get involved!

This Sunday, July 23rd, Lake Street and Minnehaha Ave will be OPEN for our community to explore, celebrate, and enjoy while walking, biking, and rolling. Here's a sneak peek of some of the main attractions so you can plan out your day accordingly.
