The Solano Avenue Association invites you to come see what makes Solano Avenue a wonderful place.
Our seasonal programs feature 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, bridging Berkeley and Albany. Additionally, we invite a limited number of outside vendors including non-profit agencies, artisans, jewelers, and makers. And of course we always include the uber-popular Kids Fun Zone that always draws a crowd.
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.
