The City of Vista is proud to bring back Cyclovia Vista for its second year! This FREE, family-friendly event invites residents of all ages and abilities to enjoy downtown Vista in a car-free zone—on bike, foot, scooter, or any self-powered mode of travel.
Join us on Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the heart of the Historic Vista Village. Cyclovia is a celebration of clean air, sustainable living, local businesses, and active transportation—all wrapped up in a high-energy community street festival.
