PITTSBURGH — OpenStreetsPgh is holding its final event of 2026 this weekend.
Three miles of Pittsburgh’s Strip District and Lawrenceville neighborhoods will be transformed into car-free public space for the community to get together on Sunday.
People of all ages and abilities are invited to bike, walk, skate and roll through the neighborhoods without any traffic.
Event-goers can expect free fitness classes and wellness activities, local vendors food and shopping, activites hosted by community organizations, youth programming and BikePGH’s “Side Quest” for a chance to win a prize while on the route.
“OpenStreetsPGH is an exciting day out in Pittsburgh and an even more powerful reminder that our streets should serve as spaces for people, not just motor vehicles,” said Catlyn Brooke, Events Manager at BikePGH. “By opening miles of roadway to the public, we’re showing what’s possible when we prioritize community connections, safety, and accessibility over car traffic.
