Join Cesar and The Five as they headline Open Streets Lancaster! Hosted by Lancaster Rec and held in partnership with City of Lancaster and the Lancaster Bikes program, Open Streets Lancaster is a free family-friendly event that temporarily transforms Water Street into a paved playground. Pedestrian traffic replaces car traffic and people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can uncover new interests, discover their talents and improve their general well-being.

The route features activities promoting physical and mental health, as well as local bands and musicians, artists, food trucks and opportunities to learn about non-profits and small businesses.

Our event reimagines transportation and community connections throughout the City of Lancaster. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, blade, and skate to the event and to meaningfully meet their neighbors.

Our first Open Streets event was held in August 2014 on two City blocks and drew 1,000 attendees. In 2025, our event stretched one-mile and drew more than 8,000 community members.

Catch Cesar and The Five on the Mainstage from 11:30am-12:30pm.
