Tucson, AZ (August 4, 2025) – Living Streets Alliance is thrilled to announce the Fall 2025 Cyclovia Tucson event which will take place on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The event will revisit our Thrive in the ‘05 route and highlight the areas of Dunbar Spring Neighborhood, Bronx Park Neighborhood, Barrio Blue Moon, Old Pascua, and Pima Community College Downtown Campus from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
During the 23rd Cyclovia Tucson event, three miles of local streets will be temporarily transformed into living, breathing, thriving public space! Cyclovia Tucson is Arizona’s biggest block party, filling the streets with 50,000 people, including local businesses, food trucks, activities, and friendly faces. Dozens of nonprofit and service organizations, performers, and community partners will bring the route to life, providing a fun, car-free day for people from across the region to enjoy. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to walk, bike, skate, roll, play, connect, and learn during this free event.
This fall’s event will make use of Tucson’s extensive network of Bike Boulevards including the 9th Ave-Castro, 3rd St-University, and future 15th Avenue Bicycle Boulevards. The route will also feature brand new chicanes and green infrastructure in Bronx Park, African American cultural heritage of Dunbar Spring, affordable housing efforts in Barrio Blue Moon, and place-making community murals in Old Pascua.
The 23rd Cyclovia Tucson is presented by Arizona Complete Health and made possible with support from numerous partners and sponsors, including the City of Tucson, Tucson Ward 3 Councilmember Kevin Dahl, Visit Tucson, Banner — University Medicine / Banner — University Family Care, Pima County Department of Environmental Quality’s Clean Air Program, AARP Tucson, Tucson Water, Pima County Tourism & Attractions, Gloo Factory Inc., Pueblo Vida Brewing Co., Dragoon Brewing Co., and ICCU.
