Streets for All Fest 2026: Know Before you Go!

Written By Rachel Hollar

What Is Streets for All Fest?

Streets for All Fest is a weekend-long celebration of biking, walking, and public space in Macon-Bibb County.

Through themed bike rides, guided walks, and community gatherings, the festival invites residents and visitors alike to experience Macon in a fun, active, and people-friendly way. Whether you’re a seasoned bicyclist, a casual walker, or simply looking for something new to do, there’s an activity for you.

Streets for All Fest is about showing what’s possible when our streets are safe, welcoming, and built for everyone. It’s about community, connection, and momentum. The festival also serves as a fundraiser for Bike Walk Macon, with every registration and donation helping move us closer to a more connected, accessible Macon-Bibb County.

We hope you’ll join us! Register here and purchase your raffle tickets here.
