Get in the Zone! July 10 Open Streets Downtown Programming Zones Announced

Make the most of your visit to Open Streets Downtown on July 10,  11:00am - 5:00pm. Be sure to hit the Zones that are of interest to you, your family and and friends.

Location: Washington Ave N from 8th Ave N to 1st Ave N & 1st Ave N from Washington Ave N to 8th St S

Kids Zone
Enjoy over two blocks of kids programming! The Minnesota Lynx & Timberwolves will have basketball activities for kids, there will be free facepainting and henna, bubbles and painting on the street with Free Arts Minnesota, and other fun activities provided by a number of different organizations!

Wellness Zone
Filled with local businesses and organizations dedicated to health care and fitness, there’s a little something for everyone. Stop by the North Memorial booth, enjoy a fitness class with the YMCA, get a health screening at the “Q Mobile”, or do some yoga on the street with Minnesota Power Yoga!
 
Sustainability Zone
Get tips on taking your bike on the bus from Metro Transit, see a bike polo demonstration by Chrome Industries, and visit the Nice Ride booth to learn more about joining the Twin Cities bike share!

All that fun will make you hungry, so it’s a good thing there’ll be plenty of food along the route! Stop for a snack at our food truck area, then swing by Red Cow for a burger and to take part in their bean bag toss competition! Finish your trip with a visit to First Avenue and a donut from Glam Doll Donuts. Then stick around to burn off some of that food thanks to free all day fitness classes hosted by Life Time Fitness including yoga and an afternoon boot camp (if you’re still hungry, they’ll even have smoothie samples!)!
