SomerStreets is the City of Somerville’s take on the internationally-renowned Open Streets concept, closing busy city streets to vehicles, and opening them up for cycling, walking, dancing, running, and other modes of activity. Through SomerStreets, the City and its community partners aim to promote and encourage easy access to physical activity, and reconnecting with neighborhoods and businesses and their unique cultural elements in a thriving urban environment.
SomerStreets builds on the Shape Up Somerville healthy living initiative. Similar open streets events take place all around the world, providing space normally taken up by automobile traffic for people to be more active.
SomerStreets is an annual series that takes place one Sunday per month June through October.
The 2016 events schedule is as follows:
Sunday, June 5: SomerStreets Carnaval Broadway (McGrath Highway to Pennsylvania Avene)
Sunday, August 21: SomerStreets Seize the Summer Holland St. (Davis Square to Teele Square)
Sunday, September 18: SomerStreets Strike Up the Bands Highland Ave (School Street to Lowell Street)
Sunday, October 23: SomerStreets Monster MashedUp Somerville Ave. (Union Square to Elm Street)
All SomerStreets events will run from 2-6 p.m., rain or shine.
