Open Streets Macon is back on Houston Avenue for our second route of 2025! Come join us on Sunday, December 7, from 2 PM to 5 PM, where Houston Avenue will transform into a vibrant community space from Newberg Avenue to Rocky Creek Road. The street will be closed to motorized traffic, except at intersections where cars can cross. No registration is required, and Open Streets Macon is completely FREE and open to everyone.
Organized by Bike Walk Macon with Macon-Bibb County's District 2 Community Family and Commissioner Paul Bronson - Open Streets is a car-free celebration of public space; bringing people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds together to walk, skate, bike, play, and re-imagine how we use our public streets.
What is Open Streets?
Open Streets programs, also known as Ciclovias, are a movement to activate people, strengthen businesses, and inspire public spaces by temporarily closing streets to cars. This is a free, regularly occurring program that offers Macon the opportunity to experience city streets in a whole new way, taking an active role in this global movement.
When: Sunday, December 7 from 2 PM to 5 PM
Where: Houston Avenue (Newberg Avenue to Rocky Creek Road)
