This Saturday, your family can walk, bike, or roll to the St. Michael City Center for Open Streets STMA, where a portion of the street will be closed off to car traffic so that families can gather to enjoy art, food, games, and more while getting to know others in the community.
This annual St. Michael Bike Rodeo event is hosted by FYCC, and some of the highlights include emergency vehicle tours, vendor booths, bounce houses, costumed characters, and a bike parade.
