Poster for the 49th Annual Solano Stroll, a free street fair on Solano Avenue between Albany and Berkeley, California. The poster has a red background with decorative, swirling lines and stars. A large, stylized red and black acoustic guitar is the central image, with the words "SOLANO" and "STROLL" on either side of it. The text "49TH AVENUE" is written in a banner across the center of the guitar. Below the guitar, a banner states "A FREE EVENT." The poster lists details about the event, including: "A MILE OF ENTERTAINERS, MUSIC, CRAFTERS, FOOD BOOTHS & FAMILY FUN!", the date "SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2025," and the time "10AM - 5PM."
