2023 marks the 8th year for Open Streets events in Fort Collins, where participants can expect
1-2 miles of car-free, family-friendly streets. Participants are encouraged to Ride the Route and
explore areas called “Activity Hubs”- temporary clusters of activity provided by local businesses
and organizations. Open Streets routes are generally considered walkable and bikeable, and
include attractive neighborhood elements such as parks and other key destinations like
churches, schools, and commercial centers.
Open Streets events aim to show participants that travelling by bike, foot, scooter, and
other active, car-free transportation modes can be comfortable, easy, and a healthy alternative
to driving. Activity Hubs are strategically located throughout the event route to encourage
movement along the entire route, although participants can also visit only a portion of the route
for a fun-filled, relaxed experience. Each Hub is unique: they could include live music, local food
trucks, health- and wellness-inspired activities, and participant-made art!
