Overview

University City District’s highly popular Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll returns for both a spring and fall edition in 2019, with dates in June and September.

The event on Thursday, September 12 wraps up the seasonal outdoor marketplace from 5:30-8:30 p.m. with deals on cookies, popsicles, tacos and stationery, as well as live hip-hop performances and informational tables about neighborhood resources.

The popular series features a variety of West Philly businesses setting up shop on the sidewalk on Baltimore Avenue from 43rd to 52nd streets with a bunch of food options, gifts and services available for just $1.

The nearly 10-block event also showcases new businesses along the neighborhood’s growing commercial corridor.

The cheap thrills are accompanied by performances from entertainers often including musicians, fire artists, jugglers and more.

The Experience

The Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll showcases Baltimore Avenue businesses from Cedar Park, Spruce Hill and University City with $1 bargains from neighborhood favorites, including bites from signature restaurants, as well as pet supplies and theater tickets.

Access to the evening festival is totally free — food and drinks are pay as you go.

And with more than 30 top West Philly vendors and a handful of food trucks lined up to participate, visitors can find plenty of amazing deals.

To accompany the dollar deals, this unique event also features live music, family entertainment and more, making it a perfect night out for people of all ages.
