Stroll in the Streets will be take place on a 1.3-mile stretch along Lenoir Street and South Saunders Street, between Chavis and Dix Parks.
Along the way there will be art stations, play stations, food trucks and more.
The Chavis-Dix Strollway is being planned, and one of the goals of this event is to imagine the possibilities. A survey at the information tent at Wilmington Street and Lenoir Street will ask you what would make the strollway accessible, meaningful and inviting to you.
