ABOUT Open Streets

https://www.lyndale.org/nicollet-open-streets

Walk, bike, and roll down Nicollet Avenue on Saturday, September 26 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. From Lake St to 46th St, it’s a two-mile celebration of our main street, with pop-up activities, live music, and fresh food and drink!

Open Streets transforms busy city streets into spaces for people, not cars. 

During Open Streets events:

  • Streets close to vehicle traffic for a limited time
  • People can walk, bike and roll safely in the street
  • Local groups offer free activities and events
  • Businesses along the route stay open and welcome visitors

There is no starting point, you can join anywhere along the route. 

Open Streets helps people discover neighborhoods, connect with their community and support local businesses.
