What is Ride The Drive?

Since its inauguration in 2009, Ride the Drive has continued to celebrate Madison’s commitment to healthy living by focusing on the environmental and economic impacts and the importance of social integration. Imagine thousands of happy, healthy people coming together to experience parks and open streets in a single, one-day, free, community event.
Ride the Drive, organized by the City of Madison Parks Division, is 2.38 miles of city streets closed to motor vehicles and park hubs along the way offering activities, food and fun for all ages.
See RideTheDrive.com for all the event details, including Park Hub activities, closed streets, and more!
