           The green street will run for two days again this year during streetfest at the

           Friday August 10th, 1:00–9:00pm & Saturday August 11th, 9:00am–9:00pm
           Come help promote a healthy active lifestyle in our community by participating in the
           Green Street Challenge this summer. The Parks Department is going to erect a green
           park in the heart of the downtown by laying sod on the streets to create a temporary play
           space. We want to help families remember the importance of unstructured play and getting
           active outside. Through fun activities for the whole family, we hope to inspire individuals to
           go outside in their backyards, trails, and neighborhood parks. Citizens of Woodstock, we
           challenge you to mark your calendars and plan to join in the fun at Streetfest on August 10th
           and 11th, 2018 in downtown Woodstock! Find out why at comealiveoutside.com.
