The \u201cOpen Streets \u2013 Bucharest\u201d program will return this weekend, on April 25, transforming central areas of the Romanian capital into pedestrian spaces every weekend until October. The initiative, now in its sixth edition, is one of the city\u2019s largest cultural projects and is expected to attract over one million visitors, the City Hall said.<\/p>\n
Organized by the Bucharest City Hall, the event will run for 25 weekends, during which Calea Victoriei and, for the first time, Ion Brezoianu Street will be closed to traffic and opened to pedestrians between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
The program will include concerts, theater and dance performances, street parades, workshops for children, sports activities, and public debates on topics such as urban development, sustainability, and mobility. Each weekend will have a dedicated theme reflecting different aspects of city life and urban transformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI support quality events for all ages that bring us together as a community. I invite you to rediscover the city, to leave the car at home at least on weekends, and to walk the streets – young people, grandparents, children alike. This year, for the first time, we will also organize public debates on various topics that concern us all,\u201d said mayor Ciprian Ciucu.<\/p>\n
