Program is below.
The Solano Avenue Association invites you to come see what makes Solano Avenue a wonderful place.
Our seasonal programs showcase live music, entertainment, activities, and specials offered by businesses along Solano Avenue. These events span the one-mile stretch from The Alameda to San Pablo Avenue, encompassing Berkeley and Albany. Additionally, our program invites outside vendors, including government and non-profit agencies, and may feature carefully curated works from regional artisans, jewelers, and makers.
Please come visit the unique and popular professional services, restaurants, and shops here on Solano Avenue.
Solano Avenue will remain open to vehicle traffic (not a closed-street festival like the Stroll) and the program is rain or shine.
All of our public events are family friendly, FREE and wheelchair accessible.
