Closing down city streets to car traffic isn't just for Memorial Drive anymore (though, Cambridge's popular car-free weekly event is now running until the middle of November).
The City of Boston is kicking off a series of events called "Circle the City" as part of their Open Streets Initiative. Come out this summer to walk, bike, dance, and roll on open, car-free streets in and between Boston area parks! Circle The City is free and open to people of all ages.
June 24, 1-5 pm
Franklin Park kick-off featuring free activities for people of all ages and a live performance of the Boston POPS Brass Ensemble
July 15, 11 am-4 pm
Walk, bike, roll and play with us on Open Streets. Featuring a car-free corridor between Franklin Park and Jamaica Pond.
August 5, 10 am-1 pm
Celebrate the city with us along the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Featuring a car-free corridor along the downtown waterfront.

Circle the City is organized by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, the Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness, LivableStreets Alliance, Franklin Park Coalition, and the City of Boston.
