Everybody's Welcome

Neighbors from the area and neighbors from across the city come together at Streets Alive! The festival is a family, kid, pet, and wheelchair friendly event to get you up off the couch and moving. You can walk, run, bike, skate, push a stroller, or propel a wheelchair through the 1.5 mile traffic-free festival route interspersed with exhibitors, entertainers, and join-in activities. You can enter or exit the route at any point.
Fitness
Get your fit on at Streets Alive! Get active with a Zumba or YMCA Pound class or a join-in sports demo. The Streets Alive! festival route is also part of the Nebraska Sports Council LiveWell Challenge! Participants can walk, bike, run, or skate their way through the route as a LiveWell Challenge event.  You can even find bikes to rent just outside the F Street Community Center at the BikeLNK kiosk. If you need some extra encouragement, Cheer Express will be there to cheer you on. If you're interested in demonstrating your sport or leading a fitness class,
