Welcome to the Open Street!
Every Saturday and Sunday from April to December, 31st Avenue between 33rd and 35th Street in Astoria closes to all motor vehicle traffic and parking, allowing the street to open up to walking, cycling, and outdoor activities, like dining, vendor fairs and free programming. All neighbors and visitors are invited to gather on the Open Street and use it however they see fit—this is a people-first public space, available to anyone.
Take advantage of the café tables and chairs to read a book, gather with friends, enjoy a meal, or simply relax outdoors. Feel free to host a friend’s birthday, a class, or a talk. We also have a variety of lawn games, including cornhole, sidewalk chalk, and more. Follow @31stAveOpenStreet on Instagram to learn about upcoming programs, events, and other opportunities to get involved.
