News/Events

On July 9, 2017 you can experience Fort Wayne in a unique way. By joining us for the City’s first Open Streets Event anchored by the historic, Calhoun Street. The event closes streets to traffic and opens for pedestrians, bicyclists, and rollerblading – as well as fun-filled activities in a more than two-mile block party atmosphere.

Open Streets turn streets into meeting places, places to socialize and places to play. Open Streets is for all ages with hands-on games and activities, live music, dining at local restaurants while sitting at tables in the street, visiting businesses in a unique way and socializing with old and new friends.

Sponsored by the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne this Free Event is a summer must!  Learn more or sign up to Volunteer:  http://openstreetsfw.org

Be ready to roll with us in May 2017 when we begin our 8th season of Trek the Trails!  This is a free, guided, community ride where we explore the trail network as a group from a different trailhead each week from May through the end of September.  Rides always start at 6pm sharp! It's a great way to see the city!  For more information, contact the City Greenways & Trails Dept at 427-6228 or Fort Wayne Trails, Inc. at 969-0079.

Do you want to explore the trails and downtown Fort Wayne but don't have a bike?  We've got you covered!  There are six Zagster Bike Share locations in the downtown area with easy access to the trails via city streets.  Bike share is available for hourly use for $3 per hour with monthly and annual membership options available.
