On SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 from 8am until 6pm, the ENTIRE NORTH SIDE OF BROADWAY, from Main to Osborne, will be CLOSED TO MOTORIZED VEHICLES for Ciclovia, connecting Assiniboine Park all the way to The Forks!!!What's Ciclovia?
Ciclovia, meaning “bike way,” began in Bogotà, Colombia, where every Sunday major roads are blocked off and millions of people fill them running, walking, biking and enjoying free outdoor fitness classes like yoga and aerobics.
Ciclovia events have been held all over the world, but have yet to hit Canadian streets until now.

Although talks exist for a Vancouver Ciclovia, WINNIPEG WILL BE THE FIRST CANADIAN CITY TO HOST!
Numerous organizations are hoping to make this a regular event in Winnipeg, and are hosting this pilot project to gauge public interest.
The event will be held from 8am until 4pm, featuring:
- a hay maze
- a farmers’ market
- street vendors
- a kids’ zone
- buskers & live entertainment
- FREE horse drawn wagon rides
The lovely all girl group, Oh My Darling, will wrap up the event with a special concert at The Forks’ Oodena Circle at 4pm!!
The goal is to promote physical activity and the environmental benefits of using non-motorized forms of transportation.
So bring out your bikes, blades, boards, & beyond and we'll see YOU Ciclovia Sunday!!!
