Move Redmond is bringing back dancing in the streets this summer!

Move Redmond Open Streets Festival: Dancing in the Streets will celebrate the joy of transforming an intersection into a dance floor. Move Redmond will expand Downtown Redmond Park off the grass and into the street allowing people to reimagine how public streets can be places for people to connect.

On Saturday, August 15 Move Redmond will highlight many forms of dance to celebrate the beautiful and diverse cultures of the people in Redmond. In addition to turning the intersection of Cleveland Street and 161st Ave NE into a dance floor, the event will feature community organizations (including Go Redmond!), local businesses and food vendors for attendees to enjoy. 

Move Redmond is also looking for volunteers to help support this great community event:
