The annual pedestrian mall in downtown St. John’s opens for the season next week.

The annual event, which first started back in 2020, sees a section of Water Street shut down and turned into a pedestrian-only zone with various events and other initiatives popping up over the summer.

This year, the city says it is changing the location of accessible washrooms based on public feedback.

The washrooms will now be located near McBride’s Hill.

The pedestrian mall will open next Thursday and will run until September 7th.
