The Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll

Our popular street festival brings thousands of visitors to Baltimore Avenue between 40th and 51st Streets to experience $1, $3, and $5 deals from local businesses, plus live music, arts and crafts activities, and plenty of fun surprises. The Stroll is held twice each year on Thursdays in June and September.

Each summer, UCD partners with neighborhood businesses and community organizations to present two editions of the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll.

Local businesses and community vendors participate by offering special one-night-only deals for $1, $3, or $5 while local musicians and artists provide entertainment up and down Baltimore Avenue from 40th Street to 51st. Launched in 2010 as a way of attracting visitors to this unique commercial corridor, the Dollar Stroll has grown into a beloved community tradition that draws thousands to the neighborhood.

 

 


The Dollar Stroll will return to Baltimore Avenue in 2025 on Thursday, June 5th and Thursday, September 4th. Stay tuned for more information including maps of this year’s event!
