A mile of entertainers, music, shops, crafters, food booths
& family fun on Solano Avenue in Berkeley/Albany.

Since 1974 Solano Avenue and the twin-cities of Albany and Berkeley CA, have hosted the Solano Avenue Stroll, the East Bay’s largest street festival! The Solano Avenue Association invites you to see what makes Solano Avenue a wonderful place. In addition to the more than 200 businesses that are always waiting for you on Solano Avenue, the Solano Avenue Stroll features over four hundred vendors including 50 entertainers, 25 food booths, 100 government and non-profit agencies, 100 artisans, jewelers, makers, and much more!

100,000 participants and event guests visit from all over northern California, and beyond. This family event promotes the unique traits of Solano Avenue, helping independently-owned businesses, artists, and community organizations to thrive by exposure and fundraising.
