Open Streets Corvallis will blend active transportation and imagination for its 7th annual street festival that connects people and neighborhoods through shared activity in Corvallis' public spaces. With a focus on community connection and movement, the event will feature activity hubs at three locations: Lilly Park and Willamette Park will bookend a mile-long route for non-motorized traffic, with a mid-route hub at Alexander Avenue. Open Streets Corvallis will take place Sunday, June 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A parade led by jazz and funk band, DTW, will begin at 11:15 a.m., traveling from Lilly Park to Willamette Park. Anyone may join. Participants should gather at Lilly Avenue, near the southeast corner of the park a few minutes beforehand.
Event Activities include:
Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, roll or take the bus to the event. An event shuttle will travel between the Downtown Transit Center and the two parks, with stops at the corner of Atwood Avenue and Bethel Street, and the Willamette Park Community Garden parking lot. A group bike ride to the event will leave from Garfield Park in northwest Corvallis at 10:30 a.m.
Open Streets Corvallis is free and open to the public. More information may be found at OpenStreetsCorvallis.org, at the CorvallisOregon.gov event listing, or by emailing Lindsey.Almarode@corvallisoregon.gov.
