Sunday Streets Missoula is a free, celebration of community and active transportation; open to all ages and abilities. It is one of hundreds of open streets initiatives all around the world that allows community members to come together, socialize, walk, roll, bike, skate, dance, and participate in activities on streets temporarily closed to motorized traffic.
what is
The role of an activity host ?
Sunday Streets' goals focus on walking, rolling & biking, community health, public space, and supporting local businesses.
Sunday Streets is not a fair or an expo; tabling and vending/selling merchandise is strictly prohibited. Your activity should ACTIVELY engage attendees.
​
We do not allow any sort of lobbying for a specific political issue/bill/candidate (collecting signatures, handing out pamphlets, etc.). Things like encouraging people to vote or educating attendees about an issue via a fun activity IS allowed.
Street barriers will be up by 11:00 am so Activity Hosts are welcome to arrive up to 1-hour before the event starts to begin setting up. All activities should be set up by 11:45 am.
Logistics:
What time should I arrive ?
Side streets are okay for parking. Activity hosts can move the street barricades to drive to designated spots and drop off equipment after 11:00 am, but all vehicles must be off HIGGGINS AVE by 11:45 am.
Where should I park?
Activity host locations will be assigned by the week of September 13th. A detailed map will be emailed to you.
If you have questions or concerns about your assigned location, call Missoula In Motion: 406-552-6675
How will I know where to set up?
Come prepared to host your activity, rain or shine.
​
A smoke advisory would be the only reason for
postponing a Sunday Streets event. We will send all activity hosts an email if we need to cancel the event.
What if there is bad weather?
Take back the street! Don't be shy about taking up space. Plan on setting up your activity in the middle of the street.
​
Keep it interactive and simple. Think about something straightforward that anybody passing by could easily pick up and join in on.
​
Go with the flow and have a simple plan B. Jump ropes, chalk, hula hoops, and bubbles are all good backups. ​
Activity host ideas ...
​​Bring positive energy! People will mimic your enthusiasm.
​
It doesn't have to be a physical activity- a mental challenge, art project, or guessing game is just as great!
​
Solid go to's: some sort of race or simple competition, a scavenger hunt, obstacles course, music, or group art projects!
