Join Bike Walk Macon and the Reimagining the Civic Commons Committee for the return of Open Streets Macon on Sunday, September 28, from 2 PM to 6 PM! Experience Monroe Street, Tattnall Street, and Oglethorpe Street as they become a giant, paved park. The street will be closed to motorized traffic for Maconites to enjoy their city streets as public space. There is no registration, and Open Streets Macon is FREE and open to the public.
Open Streets Macon 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, September 28 from 2 PM to 6 PM
Where: Pleasant Hill to Beall's Hill (Monroe St, Tattnall St, and Oglethorpe St)
