This annual car-free event transforms several miles of Madison, Wisconsin’s streets into a recreational space for cycling, skateboarding, walking, and other non-motorized activities. Typically held on the first Sunday in June, the event offers a unique opportunity for community members to experience the city from a fresh perspective. The 2024 iteration promises similar opportunities for recreation and community engagement.
Promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering a sense of community are central to this event. By closing major thoroughfares to motorized vehicles, it encourages physical activity in a safe, enjoyable environment. Furthermore, it provides a platform for local organizations and businesses to connect with residents, contributing to the vibrancy of the city. This event has a rich history, evolving from a grassroots initiative into a beloved annual tradition that draws thousands of participants.
