2024 Dates August 3, 10 & 17 | 7am-3pm

It may seem impossible to imagine a summer in New York City without honking cars, but guess what? New Yorkers get a taste of that utopia this August during Summer Streets.

Summer Streets is when the city shuts off main roads to cars and folks are able to enjoy the streets car-free. People can walk, bike and partake in a handful of activities in a safe environment and not have to worry about beating the blinking crosswalk light.

One of the coolest things to do in New York City in August is to get outside and take advantage of the people-filled streets. Between the workshops, vendors and other programming there is something for everyone to enjoy.
