Open Streets ICT - WSU & Shocker Neighborhood

We’re back and more excited than ever! This spring, Open Streets ICT returns to the WSU & Shocker Neighborhood, transforming nearly two miles of 17th Street into a lively, people-powered celebration of community, movement, and wellness. With the street closed to traffic, the space comes alive—perfect for walking, biking, skating, running, dancing, and discovering all the fun along the way.

There’s truly something for everyone! Enjoy mouthwatering eats from local food trucks, soak in live music and high-energy performances, and explore neighborhood businesses and community organizations lining the route. Every step, roll, and groove helps activate our streets and supports a healthier, more connected Wichita.
So grab your friends, bring the family, and get ready for an afternoon full of laughter, connection, and feel-good fun. Let’s open the streets, energize the neighborhood, and make even more unforgettable memories in 2026!

From high-energy drumlines to incredible music and dance—there’s something around every corner.
