World Carfree Day (WCD)

Every year on or around 22 September, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don’t have to accept our car-dominated society.
…

WCN promotes carfree day activities, but does not organise World Carfree Day itself. We provide information and guidance (see above), and are dependent on our supporters submitting details of local events to us or our colleagues at infocarfreeday.net, followed up by evaluation reports after the event each year.

Please also be aware that WCD is a decentralised event: no single spokesperson has a global overview of all activities.
