CicloIrvine Event Returns to Irvine in 2025
City Recognized for Procurement Excellence
In May, Irvine hosted its first-ever car-free open streets event, CicloIrvine. The event was a massive success, with an estimated 10,000 attendees experiencing our City’s public spaces and local businesses in a new and innovative way. People were able to stroll, bike, and roll through nearly two miles of City streets closed to cars while enjoying food, live music, art, and engaging activities. The City is proud to bring the second annual occurrence of this event back to Irvine in 2025. The temporary reimagining of public space made possible by CicloIrvine promotes healthy, sustainable modes of transportation and fosters a greater sense of community for Irvine residents and businesses. The Irvine City Council formally established Cicolrvine as an annual event at its July 23 meeting. A date for the 2025 event and a route are in the works.
