Open Streets Windsor East End Edition Celebrates Community, Culture and Wellness!
Join us on Sunday, September 22, 2024, for the new Open Streets Windsor East End Edition, a celebration of community, culture, and wellness with an amazing new route showcasing the city’s east side. This annual event, free to all, brings together residents and visitors alike to explore and enjoy the vibrant neighbourhoods that make Windsor unique.
This year, Open Streets Windsor will transform an 8-kilometre stretch of roadway from Howard Avenue to St. Rose Avenue into a car-free zone, offering a new route for exploration and engagement. Music and activities will line the route, creating a festive atmosphere for all participants.
This unique event replaces automobile traffic with foot traffic while the streets are briefly reimagined to allow the community to gather, engage, and explore.
Eight distinct hubs along the route will feature community partners hosting activities promoting health, physical activity, arts, and culture. Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to walk, cycle, rollerblade, and explore these hubs, each offering a unique east-end experience.
Back by popular demand, participants can collect commemorative badges at each hub, featuring artistic renditions of Windsor’s iconic landmarks. Supplies are limited, so don’t miss your chance to collect them all!
Thank you to our Open Streets Windsor title sponsors, St. Clair College and the St. Clair College Alumni Association; as well as entertainment sponsor Caesars Windsor and media sponsors AM800 CKLW, windsoriteDOTca News, The Windsor Star and YourTV.
