About
34th Avenue closes for two days of races, workshops and unicycle basketball in Jackson Heights.
34th Avenue is one of the most successful open streets in the country, and the festival is that community at full volume. Unicycle basketball is not something you will find elsewhere in the city. Everything is free and most of it invites you to join rather than watch.
What to expect
A long stretch of car-free avenue with activity clustered at intersections. Drop in at any point. Learn-to-ride sessions supply equipment.
