This Saturday, September 25th, New Age Realty will be sponsoring the first ever Baltimore Avenue Saturday Stroll! Local small businesses will be offering specials, discounts, and unique offerings during the event. The event will last from 12-4pm and will take place between 40th and 52nd streets. A special block-party area on 48th near Calvary Church will have live music, activities with local partners, and surprises. Additional music and interactive activities will take place along the route.

Instead of dollar deals at the event, University City District is encouraging people to show support by purchasing $1 raffle entries for Baltimore Avenue Prize Packs, featuring gift cards and items from local businesses. Every dollar raised by raffle ticket sales will be reinvested into participating businesses.
