Ciclovia
8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
The entire north side of Broadway Ave will be closed to motorized vehicles from Main St to Osborne St, connecting Assiniboine Park to The Forks. Winnipeg is the first Canadian city to stage Ciclovia.
Ciclovia, meaning "bike way", is an event that supports the use of non-motorized transportation. It combines healthy living with arts and culture, and engages citizens in active alternatives to motorized transportation, bringing life back to otherwise car-choked streets. And it allows a city to dream of different ways of living well, of other community aspirations in an urban environment.
