Open Streets Gainesville is happening on Sunday, October 5th, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be music, dancing, yoga, street games, chalk art, a splash zone for kids, roller derby (and other) queens, and lots of other fun family activities, all on a car-free University Avenue! Food and drinks will be available for purchase from businesses along the route, or stop by the GCC Hospitality tent and quench your thirst for free.
I encourage all GCC members to come out and support this GCC-sponsored street festival that is aimed at promoting active, healthy physical activity and non-motorized transportation.
GCC Ride Leaders: start and end your Sunday ride at the event or make Open Streets a stop along the way. Open Street will span W 6th ST to E 7th ST, and the event is easily accessible from the 6th ST Rail Trail.
Don't forget to bring a lock to secure your bike.
Tell your friends and neighbors. Have your family meet you at the event. You won't want to miss it! See you there!
