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.
The Winter Stroll 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.
Solano Avenue will remain open to vehicle traffic (not a closed-street festival) and the program is rain or shine.
