Knoxville's first Open Streets was a hit!
Inaugural Open Streets event draws thousands to Central Street leaving Knoxvillians wanting more.
Central Street full of walkers...riders, kids, and dogs
Thousands of people strolled, wheeled, or danced their way up and down a mile of Central Street on Sunday, October 25th. Bike Walk Knoxville's Open Streets event drew crowds to activities like the Mini Ninja obstacle course on Emory Place, the bubble garden at the Central Collective, and Greg Carney's zombie-filled performance of Thriller.
Drums and bagpipes in the Old City.
There were aerial performances behind The Original Freezo (where people lined up across the street for ice cream), and Mayor Madeline Rogero learned a new dance exercise called Nia. Folks also could try CrossFit, which had them turning tractor tires over in the street.
Kids and adults alike enjoying the Urban Forrest close to Magnolia Avenue.
There was something for everyone, and smiles all around!
