This Saturday, April 21, is Car Free Earth Day in New York City. To mark the occasion and to promote environmental awareness, 30 blocks of Broadway, from 17th Street to 47th Street, will be closed to cars for six hours from 9am to 3pm.
Broadway’s plazas will be busy with programming during that time, with dance and music performances, fitness classes, public art installations, children’s activities, and more. Of course, our stretch of Broadway, between 35th and 33rd Streets, will be a hive of activity. Besides environmental-centered programming, we’re also taking this opportunity to preview the free exercise classes we have lined up for the summer.
