Open Streets MPLS™ Cedarfest

September 13 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

The Open Streets MPLS™ fun continues in Cedar-Riverside!

Mark your calendar for Open Streets Cedarfest, where we close down the corridor to car traffic, allowing people to walk, bike, roll, and connect with their neighbors and local businesses. Together, we’ll experience the streets as a place to explore, play, and dream.

This year, Our Streets and the West Bank Business Association are co-hosting the event.

Help make Open Streets Cedarfest a success by signing up to volunteer, registering as a participant, or becoming a sponsor.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
