NYC Summer Streets have new hours in 2026. Here's when and where in every borough.

New York City's popular Summer Streets events are back for 2026, with later hours in some boroughs based on community feedback. 

The City Department of Transportation announced Friday more than 20 miles of roadway will be open exclusively to pedestrians and cyclists on select Saturdays from July 25-Aug. 22 in the five boroughs.

"This year, we're adjusting the hours of Summer Streets in the outer boroughs to help more New Yorkers enjoy these events later in the day. We thank our sister agencies, programming partners, elected officials, and advocates for their support behind New York's biggest block party," NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn said.

Summer Streets dates and locations

Summer Streets events open from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. in Manhattan and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island this year.

What is Summer Streets?

NYC Summer Streets is an annual program where lengthy corridors are entirely closed off to vehicle traffic, creating a vast, open space for pedestrians in each borough. 

"Summer Streets gives back our largest public space, our streets, so that all New Yorkers can walk, run, bike, play, dance, or simply connect with their neighbors," Flynn said. 

This year, DOT said it's partnering with New York Road Runners to organize walking and running events geared toward beginner athletes for Summer Streets in Manhattan on Aug. 1 and the Bronx on Aug. 22. 

The DOT's public art program will also bring dynamic installations to events in each borough.

Last year, more than 500,000 people took part in Summer Streets, according to the department.
