About Sunday Parkways

Discover what happens when your streets turn into parks Oct. 5 and Oct. 26 for Sunday Parkways!

Car traffic will be closed along a linear route from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on these days for you and your family to explore Chicago’s beautiful neighborhoods in fun and active ways.

Bring your bikes, scooters, strollers or just yourself for Sunday Parkways — a first-ever event in Chicago when the streets are transformed into vibrant and physically active scenes.

Sunday Parkways runs along Chicago’s historic and beautiful boulevard system and will connect Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Garfield Park, North Lawndale and Little Village neighborhoods, displaying the vibrant culture of Chicago’s communities along the way

Dance, play and exercise at activity stations in Palmer Square, Humboldt Park, Garfield Park, Douglas Park and Tepochcalli School throughout the morning.

How does it work? Participants, with the help of traffic control aides, obey traffic signals of cross streets. These cross streets remain open to car traffic, meaning that Sunday Parkways does not affect the surrounding street network or traffic flow.
Lead organizations from these communities have driven the momentum around Sunday Parkways and have been working with the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and the City to make it a reality.
