About Sunday Streets
Eugene Sunday Streets are free community events that roll into Eugene every summer and are brought to you by the City of Eugene.
The events help connect Eugene neighborhoods by offering several miles of traffic-free streets for people to walk, bike and roll. There are activity centers at Eugene’s beautiful City parks and along the routes that include free:
- Fitness classes
- Dancing
- Yoga
- Slacklining
- Live music
- Much more!
Information for Neighbors and Area Businesses
Although neighbors along the route are strongly encouraged to limit or postpone their driving between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., there are designated intersections to allow residents access to their homes and local businesses.
Information for Vendors
All activity vendors must provide entertainment or an activity which engages participants in fitness and/or promotes healthy living and exercise. Interaction should be the primary focus, not incidental. Sales are discouraged at Eugene Sunday Streets. See more information for activity booths and food cart vendors.
Growing Attendance
Eugene’s first Sunday Streets took place on September 18, 2011, connecting the Whiteaker and Downtown neighborhoods. Since then it has consistently grown, becoming one of Eugene's most popular summer events.
