SomerStreets Carnaval will kick off the 2021 season for in a post-pandemic format in order to continue to prioritize the health and safety of our community!

SomerStreets is the City of Somerville’s take on the internationally-renowned Open Streets concept, closing busy city streets to vehicles, and opening them up for cycling, walking, dancing, running, and other modes of activity.

This year Carnaval will be a series of smaller events across two days. Saturday June 5th and Sunday June 6th.

Join East Somerville Main Streets, our curator and producer. We are requesting that you 'register' for free tickets (a way we can gauge the crowds.)
