Meet Us on Farmington Avenue!
For the first time ever, Farmington Avenue will be completely car free, giving Hartford residents and visitors the opportunity to travel the street in a way they never have before.
The Route
Starting at South Whitney Street and stretching all the way to Bushnell Park, you'll come across pop-up dance performances, live music, fitness classes, and art installations. DominGO! is all about being active and using the open street in any way you want to—walk, run, bike, scoot, dance, or skate your way down to experience everything the West End, Asylum Hill, and Downtown Hartford have to offer!
A special thank you to Aetna for sponsoring the efforts of the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association in helping coordinate activities during this DominGO! Hartford day.
