Cherokee Caravan

The Row keeps a short calendar. Cherokee Caravan comes round each spring, when the shops put their stock out on the pavement and the street fills up for a day. First Thursday runs through the warmer months, with the doors open into the evening. In December the Cookie Spree turns the block into a walk between plates of biscuits.
The rest of the year the shops keep their own hours and the street is quiet, which many people prefer — you can spend an afternoon on six blocks without queueing for anything.
Dates and times here are the ones the organisers have published. Outdoor events move for weather and occasionally for nothing at all, so check with the shops or the event’s own page before travelling any distance.
