New York Weekend Walks 2014 [nyc.gov]

www.nyc.gov /html/dot/ weekendwalks

Each year, the New York City Department of Transportation partners with community groups to present Weekend Walks – neighborhood events on multi-block stretches of commercial streets temporarily closed to vehicles and opened to walking and other activities. These multi-day events take place in all five boroughs from May through October.

Local merchants' associations, community groups, and business improvement districts host Weekend Walks as a fun way to highlight local businesses and cultural institutions. They create wonderful opportunities for New Yorkers to gather, see their neighborhoods in a new way, and relax on weekends.

2014 Community Partner:

• Astoria Park Alliance

These are the 2013 Weekend Walks. It was a great season, and we're looking forward to next summer. The 2014 schedule will be announced in the spring.

We had a Great Day at the shore for Astoria Park Shore Fest Day Two.  

Tletlpapatlotzin, the Aztec Drum Group entertained and enlightened us with
a traditional dance circle.

Our Friends The East River Blues Band with their Blues and Roots Rock that rolled along like the river that gave them their name.

Build It Green! NYC (@BIGNYC) and Friends showed us how it can be fun to be environmentally aware.

We had a beautiful day in our park on the river. See you next Sunday for the
Big River Jam.    [08/18]

APSF - Shore Fest 2013 [Sundays August 2013]

APSF : Astoria Park Shore Fest : 2013

Sundays : Aug 04 : Aug 11 : Aug 18

  1 pm - 6:30 pm

the project

One of the goals of increased community involvement
in the planning and execution of Shore Fest is being
realized this year with the inclusion of
additional community partners.

This is an important  milestone in the growth of
Shore Fest as a  community building project and
in the creation of stakeholders in re-imagining the
use of Shore Boulevard.

This year, two of the communities brightest stars,

We Heart Astoria and Build It Green, will bring their unique sensibilities to the event. 
 August 4th is We Heart Astoria Food Fest, August 11 is Build it Green Day.
 They join valued partners the NY City Parks and Recreation Department 
 and Green Shores NYC. Shore Fest is an NYC Dept. of Transportation 

 Sponsored Temporary Pedestrian Street.

Shore Fest continues to evolve as a showcase for the potential of Shore Boulevard as a 

multi-use public space. Shore Fest is a place to meet new people, enjoy old friends, and 

carve a river of life out of a car-filled street.
