Together with The City of Wichita

This is your way-too-early reminder that Open Streets ICT is coming back to Douglas in September (28th to be exact).

The City closes down Douglas from Grove St to Glenn St in historic Delano so you and your friends or family can roam, ride, run, or just enjoy a stretch of road with vendors, business, organizations, music, and fun.

This is one of my favorite events of the year and I can’t wait.

If you’re interested in getting involved as a sponsor, vendor, or volunteer just click here.
