First of its kind Transportation Fair happening in Everett on June 8!

Have you ever wanted to try to put a bike on an MBTA bus? Or be more visible while biking or walking at night? Did you know that Everett has an amazing shared-use trail called the Northern Strand Community Trail, where there will be a free guided bike tour and fun run/walk on and near this trail on June 8? And you’ll be able to enjoy free food and music afterwards?!

The City of Everett and Green Streets Initiative are hosting the first-ever Everett Transportation Fair on the Northern Strand Community Trail at 7-Acre Park on Saturday, June 8, 2024. (Rain date: June 9). There will be food trucks (with free food while supplies last), music, a kids’ bike parade, bike repair, arts & crafts and community transportation resources! The event runs from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., with these provisions: If you want to participate in a free raffle, you’ll need to arrive and check in before 1 p.m. and stay until 2 p.m. to pick up any possible prizes. To join the guided bike ride or 2.5-5K Fun Run, arrive at 11 a.m., as both activities start at 11:30 a.m. and require preregistration or on-site permissions and signatures from adults. There will also be a kids’ bike/scooter/stroller parade at 1:30 p.m. – where all can show off their newly made, reflective and fluorescent art decor! Attendees can also learn more about healthy and green transportation options in, around, to and from Everett! Related organizations like the MBTA, MGH Community Care Van, MassDOT, Walk Massachusetts – and many others – will be available for demonstrations and activities for people of all ages.
