What is Open Streets Boise?
Hosted by the Boise Bicycle Project, Open Streets Boise temporarily transforms neighborhood streets into car-free community spaces where folks can bike, walk, and roll together. Open Streets Boise moves between neighborhoods highlighting different neighborhoods and local businesses. Explore local food, art, family-friendly entertainment, and live music in a welcoming atmosphere where we can come together and reimagine our streets as a place for people, not just cars. In 2026, Open Streets Boise will be made possible with support from the City of Boise and in partnership with the Collister Neighborhood Association.
What Are Open Streets Events?
Open streets events temporarily close certain streets to motor vehicles, transforming them into safe and accessible spaces for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized traffic. These worldwide events promote physical activity, recreation, and socialization while advocating for bike/ped infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
Originating in the 1970s with Bogotá's "Ciclovía," the concept has since spread globally. Cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles have embraced open streets events! Today, these events highlight the potential for reimagining urban spaces and advocating for more livable and inclusive cities through temporary and permanent changes to urban infrastructure.
Open Streets Boise is made possible by the support from the City of Boise and our community! If you’re a community member, show your support by donating, becoming an ambassador, or by purchasing Lost Grove Brewing’s Pedal-Powered Pilsner. If you’re a business, consider becoming an in-kind or financial sponsor.
