It’s the final weekend of New York City’s Summer Streets in Manhattan. 

A route from the Brooklyn Bridge up to Dyckman Street is completely closed to vehicles Saturday, so people can walk, run, bike and enjoy more summer entertainment in the streets. 

Activities are planned from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.  

This marks the third straight weekend of Summer Streets in Manhattan, after the 2025 season kicked off in Queens and Staten Island in July.
