Tucson, AZ (February 9, 2026) – Living Streets Alliance is pleased to announce the Spring 2026 Cyclovia Tucson event which will take place on Sunday, April 12th, 2026. From 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the car-free route will connect communities between Downtown and Amphitheatre Neighborhood.
During the 24th Cyclovia Tucson event, over three miles of local streets will be temporarily transformed into linear parks and block parties connecting an expected 50,000 people to local businesses, neighborhoods, organizations, and each other. People of all ages and abilities are invited to walk, bike, skate, roll, play, explore, and learn during this free event.
This Spring, Cyclovia will extend a familiar route along 4th and Fontana Avenues—last activated in Fall, 2023—to include new partners and activation. The route features Tucson’s very first Bicycle Boulevard: the 4th Ave/Fontana corridor, running from University Boulevard to Prince Road. With traffic calming features where native plants flourish, push-button crossings, and bike-lane markings, these lower-stress streets have served as a proof of concept for several other bike boulevards that now connect Tucson neighborhoods, and that can be used year-round.
The 24th Cyclovia Tucson event is made possible with support from numerous partners and sponsors, including AARP, Pima County Attractions and Tourism, Visit Tucson, Pima County Department of Environmental Quality’s Clean Air Program, The Gloo Factory, Tap & Bottle, KXCI, Dragoon Brewing Co. and Pueblo Vida Brewing Co.
As part of the global “open streets” movement, Cyclovia Tucson is a unique opportunity for people of all ages to envision a city with safer, more sustainable mobility options for everyone, amidst thriving and enjoyable public spaces. Over 100 local organizations, including a wide range of businesses and community groups, along with diverse Tucson residents of all ages and abilities participate in the temporary transformation of our streets into car-free spaces where freedom of movement and connection are centered. There are many ways to get involved, including volunteering, sponsorship and underwriting, performing, or setting up an activity on the route.
