FAQs
Where can I find the full schedule of activities?
The full schedule will be available by August 15. However, we will add some more details to this page as the event comes together.
Will College Avenue be closed for this?
No, there are no street closures for Rock-N-Stroll. Unlike most street festivals, all of the activities are taking place along a 1-mile stretch of College Avenue (and side streets) with activities inside and outside the businesses and open spaces in the Rockridge business district.
Where can I park?
While we always encourage taking public transportation, there is ample parking found throughout the district. There is metered parking on College Avenue and free parking (usually with time limits) on the side streets.
Can I bring my best friend, my dog?
Yes! Rockridge is dog friendly (to well-behaved pups on leash). Many of the businesses will be setting out water bowls, offering treats, and other fun pet-friendly activities.
My band would like to perform. How can we apply?
We would love to learn more about your band, not only for this even, but for other happenings throughout the year. Fill out our band form which asks all the relevant questions needed for booking.
I’m a local artist. How can I apply to table at the event?
This event is for artists across a range of mediums (such as clay, wood, paint, fabric, charcoal, etc.) and creation techniques (such as sculpture, printmaking, watercolor, or pottery). Learn more and apply here.
Can I be a vendor at Rock-N-Stroll?
There is no “vendor village” at Rock-N-Stroll. If you are interested in tabling, you would contact a business in the district and ask them to host you inside or outside their location. Note: There is absolutely no food and beverage vending at this event.
Can I sponsor this event?
Yes, we are always looking for organizations that believe in supporting community events. There are numerous ways we can align your brand with the event and help gain exposure to our community and visitors. Contact us to discuss.
Take BART!
Rock-N-Stroll is BARTable! Take the train to the Rockridge Station and you’re in the center of the action. There are no street closures, so street parking and AC Transit lines are uninterrupted. Bike racks are found throughout the district.
