Get Ready for 2025 Move Redmond Open Streets Festival: Trails 2 Transit
Move Redmond Open Streets Festivals play a crucial role in reimagining how we utilize our streets to be more pedestrian oriented where people can walk, bike, scoot, roll, and play. By prioritizing pedestrians, these events shows the benefits of streets designed for people rather than cars.
In 2025 the Downtown Redmond Link Extension will open in Spring and Move Redmond wants to leverage the opening of light rail to celebrate the incredible investments the city has made to improve access to light rail through trails. We envision combining the opening of the light rail station with a twist on our Open Streets Festival to highlight the power of trails to transit!
Move Redmond will bring together community partners, local businesses and talented performers and artists to celebrate the powerful nexus of using trails to access transit. Our team plans to bring together a steering committee to shape both the opening of light rail and the Open Streets Festival, and put on an amazing celebration of Redmond.
Partnerships
Move Redmond takes a collaborative approach in organizing our Open Streets Festival by actively engaging with local businesses, community organizations, and youth performers. We recognize that the success of such events hinges on community partnership.
We give local businesses the opportunity to to set up food trucks and booths during the festival. At our 2024 Overlake & Downtown Redmond Open Streets Festival, we showcased Redmond’s multicultural community with diverse performances, including Bollywood Dancing and Taiko Drumming. We also included youth talent and creativity from Bellevue School of Rock. We continues our partnership with Redmond Library to a fun story time session and our long standing collaboration with wit 425 Fitness and YogaSix brought popular classes for all.
As we begin to plan for our 2025 Open Streets Festival: Trails 2 Transit, we will continue to engage with local community partners to create a successful event.
At Move Redmond, we believe that community connections and resources should be available to everyone. At Move Redmond Open Streets Festival, we create a space where individuals can connect and engage with an array of diverse community organizations that offer a wide variety of resources.
