Since 1974, The Merchants, Restaurants, and Professionals, as well as the twin cities of Albany and Berkeley CA, have hosted the Solano Avenue Stroll, the East Bay’s largest street festival! The Solano Avenue Merchants Association invites you to come and see what makes Solano Avenue such a wonderful place.  26 blocks of free fun!

The fun begins at 8 a.m. with the traditional pancake breakfast at Veterans’ Memorial Park in Albany brought to you by the Berkeley Lions Club. Then, the opening of Solano Avenue businesses and Stroll booths at 10AM. But the real kickoff is the theme parade with about 100 groups at 10AM.

After the parade, you can visit one of 75 entertainers, 50 food booths, 150 juried arts and crafters, games, wacky art cars, and almost 200 community non-profit and government organizations, not to mention the unique and popular professional services, restaurants, and shops already here on Solano Avenue.

NEW STYLE | NEW IDEAS | NEW ART
The Urban Couture Fashion and Art Expo brings public attention to the local arts industry. The new Style, Ideas, and Art of the Expo will deliver an intimate immersion into the new cultures, and style born from the struggles and history of the Bay Area. At no time has it been more important to connect artists with audiences, than as the saturation of technologies converge from every direction.
