NEW YORK (PIX11) –  Summer Streets is back!

Saturday launched five weeks without cars on certain streets in all five boroughs. This gives people a chance to ride bikes, rollerblade, or walk.    

The program also includes live performances, music, volleyball, and street art. 

If you missed Saturday’s Summer Streets in Long Island City, Queens, or Staten Island, here is the information about the upcoming dates:

Manhattan: Saturday, August 3, 10, and 17:

Manhattan: Summer Streets will run from the Brooklyn Bridge all the way into Harlem, traveling along Lafayette Street and Park Avenue up to 109th Street; on Central Park North from Fifth Avenue to Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard; and along Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard from 110th Street to 125th Street.

The Bronx and Brooklyn: Saturday, August 24: 

The Bronx: Summer Streets will run along Grand Concourse from East Tremont Avenue to Mosholu Parkway. This program will open a major car-free corridor for people from the West Bronx to the North Bronx.
