San Antonio’s sixth semi-annual open streets event, Síclovía, is set to take place on Sunday March 30, 2014, from 11am- 4pm. This year, the event will be held in the city’s “artsy” Southtown district.
Over 65,000 individuals are expected to attend activities which will include: free fitness stations, a farmer’s market, a tree give away, pet adoptions, and 2.5 miles of open road for cycling, skating, and jogging.
A team from the Better Block organization will demonstrate some great ideas for improving streets and unused lots. Meanwhile the YMCA will provide fun activities to keep kids active.
The course will start at the intersection of South St. Mary’s street and Cesar E. Chavez Blvd and run down East Mitchell street and Mission road, all the way to Mission Concepcíon.
To promote the event the city has placed colorful bikes at parks throughout the city. For a chance to win free bicycle accessories, residents can take a photo with a Síclovía bike and tweet about it using the hashtag #movingtosouthtown.
