The Solano Avenue Association invites you to come see what makes Solano Avenue a wonderful place. We feature 200 businesses that are rolling out the welcome mat to invite you inside. On September 12th 2021 Solano Avenue will become alive with entertainers, outside dining and more.
The Sidewalk a-Faire is an in-person event (not virtual). It will run the one-mile length of Solano Avenue from The Alameda to San Pablo Avenue (in Berkeley/Albany). We feature some outside vendors including entertainers, government and non-profit agencies, and perhaps some carefully selected works from regional artisans, jewelers and makers.
Please come visit the unique and popular professional services, restaurants, and shops here on Solano Avenue.
For this event Solano Avenue will remain open to traffic (not a closed-street festival) and in case of unforeseen circumstances the alternative event date is September 26th 2021.
