Get a $50 discount on your spot: 

For providing 5+ event-day volunteers: Each event is put on by about 100 volunteers that sign up for a position and a 2.5 hour shift through the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition. If you have a large network and can provide 5+ people that can sign up at least 2 weeks before event day to support the event at large, then you can receive a $50 reimbursement! Volunteers that you recruit only to staff your booth or support your organization's programming do not count as Open Streets volunteers - they must sign up through the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition. If you plan to bring volunteers, our Volunteer Coordinator will follow up with you. Feel free to contact our Volunteer Coordinator if you have any questions.

OR

For providing on-street programming: Programming is any fun, free activity that is open to all participants and adds value to the event. Kids games, music, and contests are all examples of great programming. Activities like giving away samples or tabling with information are not. If you plan to provide programming, our Event Coordinator will follow up with you. Feel free to contact our Event Coordinator if you have any questions.
