Join the City of Berkeley, Waterside Workshops, and our neighbors at the recently renovated Aquatic Park for the 2024 Berkeley Aquatic Park Youth Festival on Saturday, December 7!
Let’s celebrate Berkeley’s youth and the community-based organizations that support them with an afternoon full of family fun. There will be youth performances, food trucks, fire truck tours, face painting, a bike and boat parade around the lagoon, and more.
Bring your decorated bike to participate in the parade with BORP Adaptive Sports or join us from 12-2pm for bike decorating at Waterside Workshops! Berkeley Boatshop youth interns will decorate boats for a lagoon parade alongside the Berkeley Rowing and Waterski Clubs.
