Astor Place is a Headliner of 2025 Summer Streets Program

For three Saturdays this August, Astor Place will be jam-packed with exciting activities like an obstacle course for kids, classes from the best neighborhood fitness studios, and free samples of hot new products. This year, the program is larger than ever, with over 400 blocks of public spaces given over from cars for New Yorkers to enjoy. In the Village, enjoy a leisurely stroll up Lafayette Street or an exciting afternoon on Astor Place.

Per DOT: “On select Saturdays from 7am to 3pm, the usual traffic noise and honking horns will be replaced by open streets teeming with walkers, bikers, runners, and performers. Discover a wealth of free cultural programs, performances, fitness classes, interactive art, giveaways, and much more as you experience the city in a whole new way.”

To sweeten the deal, free Citi Bike Day Passes will be available on event days with promo code LYFTSUMMER25 on the Citi Bike App.

Parking will be limited on East 8th Street during Summer Streets weekends.

The program runs all Summer long, but Village streets will be impacted on August 2nd, August 9th, and August 16th. To learn more about Summer Streets and the Astor Place rest stop, visit NYC DOT’s website for an interactive map.
