Anacortes Open Streets is scheduled for Sunday, August 24, 2025, beginning at 11:00 am. Sponsored by the Anacortes Parks Department, the event aims to transform local streets into a car-free zone for community activities. By promoting muscle-powered transportation, such as biking and walking, the initiative encourages healthy lifestyles among residents. Past events have shown that similar initiatives can significantly enhance community engagement and promote physical fitness. Participants will have the chance to explore local parks and streets safely, free from vehicle traffic.

The event not only fosters individual well-being but also strengthens community connections. Local businesses are expected to benefit from increased foot traffic during the event. This year's Open Streets promises to provide a vibrant atmosphere for families and individuals to come together and celebrate their community.
