NYC Kicks Off Open Streets Season With Car-Free Earth Day Event
Briefly

New York City's Car-Free Earth Day on April 26 will see 54 streets transformed into vibrant spaces for art, music, and communal activities. Through the Open Streets program, these events aim to raise awareness about climate change and promote sustainable transportation. The event lasts from 10:00am to 4:00pm, with a highlight in Brooklyn on 5th Avenue. Featuring artistic displays and public engagement activities, officials encourage residents to explore the city sustainably, underscoring the need to reduce carbon footprints through community interaction and creative programming. Riders can also enjoy free Citi Bike rides for the day.
We only have one planet - temporary public art, programming, music and other activities at dozens of car-free streets around New York City will help us remember: we must all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint and respect our environment.
New York's public realm gets better and more inviting with each passing year-vibrant plazas with music and art, bustling streets with outdoor dining, and well-cared for parks teeming with trees and plants. There's no better way to explore it than a walk or a bike ride to take it all in.
