Events

UCD cares about University City, and we work to unite people around our corridors, businesses, art, parks, and public spaces. Popular signature events such as the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll, the University City Dining Days, Movies in Clark Park, and the Clark Park Farmers' Market all serve to bring people together. We work to continually elevate University City's status as a world class neighborhood with world class amenities.

University City Dining Days

University City’s version of “restaurant week” is Dining Days. Participating restaurants offer a prix-fixe three-course dinner special for $15, $25 or $35. The “3 courses, 3 prices” concept accommodates University City’s diverse culinary options.
