Originally scheduled for 6/26/16, the historic 626 Golden Streets event had to be cancelled due to wildfires above the cities of Azusa, Duarte, and Irwindale only 72 hours before the big event.

The 7-city working group and project partners are very excited to report that after months of contingency planning and coordination a makeup date has been confirmed: Sunday March 5, 2017!  

In addition to being a great way to start off 2017, March 5th just so happens to be the one-year anniversary of the Foothill Gold Line Extension grand opening!


Please save-the-new-date and stay tuned for updates here, as well as on the event Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter. Until then, we encourage you to walk, bike, roll and explore our beautiful region by Metro.

It's not everyday that 7 cities partner together to connect 6 new light rail stations via over 17 miles of streets opened for walking, biking, skating and more. In fact, this is the first time any of the 7 participating cities will host an open streets event. As far as we know 626 Golden Streets also has more cities working together to open streets along a continuous route than any other ciclovia in the US!  Needless to say, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the (626) in a whole new light!  

​For those joining us from further afield, there is a wide range of overnight lodging options in close proximity to the event route.  The (626) and area have a lot to offer, why not make a weekend of it!
