Event Date: August 23, 2025
Event Times: Art Bazaar 11am - 4pm | Rock-N-Stroll All Day, but primarily 11am-4pm
Event Location: Inside/Outside businesses located in the Rockridge District (primarily College Avenue from Alcatraz to Broadway) of Oakland, California.
What to Know: 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). Artists that can accommodate a small footprint (ie., 29" x 72" folding table only) have the best chance of being selected to participate. Artists will provide all of their own setup; only space is provided (if businesses have anything to share, we will provide that information). Outdoor setups will not have shade cover or tent covers; you will be positioned on sidewalks where ample room for pedestrian foot traffic needs to be maintained at all times. No generators are allowed and most locations do not have electricity available. No food or beverage vending is allowed. Artists are responsible for their products; the event organizer and business hosts are not liable for any broken, damaged, or stolen items. Rain/wind could impact outdoor locations (though August is typically nice); however outdoor locations tend to get more foot traffic.

About the Event Organizer: The Rockridge Rock-N-Stroll is produced by the
