We’re asking you, neighbors, to decorate the front of your houses with flowers, plants, or any other creative ideas you may have. This year we will also feature Gilded Age Walking Tours to commemorate the filming of HBO’s The Gilded Age last summer in our historic and well preserved neighborhood.
There will be prizes for the most popular decorated houses and a judge will vote for best block in the neighborhood, plus day-long events at Hudson-Jay Park including a Summer Market and kids activities. So put your creative caps on and your hands in the soil and help us celebrate our beautiful neighborhood! See 2022 Stroll results below the form.
