The NYC Summer Streets program is returning to all five boroughs “with more streets than ever before,” the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) said.
To celebrate New York City’s 400th anniversary, over 400 blocks of car-free fun, fitness, and live entertainment will be available for people to enjoy.
5 boroughs, 5 Saturdays
Dig deeper:
For five consecutive Saturdays, the city will ban cars from more than 22 miles of total roadway across the five boroughs.
The designated streets will open up for a variety of recreational activities from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The closures begin in Queens and on Staten Island this Saturday.
People can also get a free Citi Bike day pass by using the promo code LYFTSUMMER25 on the Citi Bike App.
