Third Annual USU Open Streets Festival

The third annual Utah State University Open Streets Festival is Tuesday, Oct. 6, with activities running from 3-6 p.m.

For the event, Aggie Bull-evard will be closed to car traffic from 2-6:15 p.m. from the Big Blue Terrace to the east side of Edith Bowen Laboratory School. Both CVTD and Aggie shuttle buses will continue running both east and west bound on 700 North on regular schedules with normal pick-ups and drop-offs.

USU Open Streets festival celebrates the vibrancy of the USU Logan campus, strengthens local connections and encourages healthy activity by opening community space to active transportation. Open Streets challenges us to examine the streetscape without cars and instead with active transportation, revealing a completely different user experience. In order to cultivate a lively event, the street will be filled with street games, performers, races, local vendors and live music.

“Open Streets Festival is the perfect opportunity to promote healthy living, local businesses, sustainable transportation and USU pride,” said Stephanie Tomlin, Aggie Blue Bikes program coordinator.

Last year the event drew more than 500 people and more than 15 local businesses participated. This year the lead event sponsors are Aggie Blue Bikes, USU Sustainability Council and the Student Sustainability Office.
