KIGALI CAR FREE DAY,  coupled with the bi-monthly mass sport is an open event initiated and organized by the City of Kigali with the main aim, on one hand, to promote the culture of sport among Kigali City residents, and on the other hand, to make Kigali a green city.

Kigali Car Free Day takes place on every first and third Sunday of the month, where some roads are closed for motorized vehicles to be used only for walking and cycling.

It is also a way to contribute, to some extent, to the reduction of gas emission as well as an opportunity to have a great cheer and socialization for City residents!

The Kigali Car Free Day, very popular in Rwanda also offers an opportunity for mobilisation for the protection of the environment. For example, on June, 3rd 2018, a “Beat the Plastic Pollution Walk” was organised by the Ministry of the Environment.
