  The Solano Stroll is an annual street fair held every September, a week after Labor Day, on the Solano Avenue shopping district of Albany and Berkeley, California. Stretching close to 2 miles long and bringing between 250,000 and 300,000 attendees in a single day, it has been called the oldest and largest street festival in the San Francisco Bay Area and the “world’s biggest block party”!

  Over five hundred vendors, non-profit organizations, food booths and entertainers.
