September 12, 2010 In its second year, this FREE eco-friendly, healthy-lifestyles festival and active transportation initiative will see the north side of Broadway closed from Osborne to Main Street, creating a network of car-free streets from Assiniboine Park all the way to The Forks! New in 2010!!! Experience a CURB LANE FREE FROM VEHICLES down WOLESELEY, FURBY, WESTMINSTER, YOUNG and BALMORAL streets to ride your bike, walk, run, or skate your way down to Broadway in one fell swoop! And while you’re boppin’ down Broadway, watch for the new RBC Blue Water Conservation zone, as well as fitness classes, a farmers' market, kids' zone, bike demos, craft market, music and so much more. BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLE? Yup, water bottle that is! Keep filling up at our water station on Memorial and Broadway and show us how green you can be. Sign the water pledge wall in the RBC Blue Water Conservation Zone and challenge yourself to use less H20!

The event featured a hay maze, a farmers’ market, street vendors, a kids’ zone, buskers, horse drawn wagons, outdoor fitness classes and other non-motorized fun. The band Oh My Darling wraped up the event with a special concert at The Forks’ Oodena Circle (pictured at right) at 4pm. The goal was to promote physical activity, community building and the environmental benefits of using non-motorized forms of transportation.
