Events to impact downtown area April 26-27, 2019
This weekend, multiple events will take place throughout the City, with the greatest impact in Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent and Downtown. Each of the permitted events are annual and typically will fall on our about the same weekend.
The Komen Run coincides with Sidewalk Arts only because the run changed its weekend to avoid interfering with the Easter weekend.
Next year this run transforms into a walk, meaning this will be their last 5k.

Sidewalk Arts remains the same, however, SCAD is hosting a street closure on Friday Evening on Bull St. in front of Peotter Hall for their 40th Anniversary.
This is a community event open to the public.

The Walk for Babies takes place in Ardsley / Parkside.
It minimizes the use of Washington Ave, a change that was made purposely some years back.
Last year we received complaints due to runners moving ahead of the police “bubble.” Those runners were NOT a part of the walk. This year announcements will be made prior to the start pertaining to safety and the need to stay within the police protected “bubble” around the walkers.
Notifications have been completed.

The Farmers Market relocates to street closure on Bull St. Between Park Ave and Duffy St.
This happens annually when Sidewalk Arts occurs.
