Open Streets events take place in cities all over the United States and the world, and the idea is pretty simple – close down a busy street to motor vehicle traffic, transforming the street into safe space for residents of all ages and abilities to get outside, exercise, play, and connect. Open Streets promotes health and wellness, raises awareness for safer streets, and builds community.
Open Streets Wilmington will focus on one major event in 2026, highlighting and building on resident-driven efforts to improve street safety in Wilmington’s West Side.
September 19, Time TBD: W. 2nd Street
