About Open Streets Minneapolis

Open Streets Minneapolis transforms major City streets into car-free places for one day. Open Streets are events that:

• Occur on a street for a limited amount of time
• Shut down car traffic during the event
• Allow people to walk, bike, and roll down the street
• Have programming and free activities

Open Streets events do not have a designated beginning or endpoint. Events take place on major business and commercial corridors. These events encourage visitors to discover businesses, parks, and activities along the route.

Attendance numbers

In 2022, a total of 102,000 people attended five Open Streets Minneapolis events. Since 2011, there have been 59 Open Streets Minneapolis events.
