Join us at Aquatic Park for family-friendly games and activities celebrating Berkeley's youth and the winter season!
Start the day with the Fun Run, a 2.3-mile course around Aquatic Park. All ages are welcome; registration is required. Check-in starts at 10:30 am, with the Fun Run set to begin at 11:30 am.
Then at noon, enjoy winter-themed games and activities at the Winter Youth Festival! Say hello to holiday characters, decorate cookies, take pictures at the photo booth, and watch a bubble show. Grab lunch from a food truck, then learn about Aquatic Park through environmentally-focused activities. Connect with community organizations and city departments to learn more about programs and services offered in Berkeley. Stop by the Recreation Division's booth to get a preview of summer camp offerings for 2026.
Don't forget to bring your bicycles! The Kiddical Mass Bike Ride will take place from 1:30-2:00 pm. Ride from the Aquatic Park, to the Waterfront, and back. All youth welcome, no registration needed.
Local non-profit Charge Across Town will also offer test rides of a variety of electric vehicles during the festival. Learn about programs that make electric vehicles more affordable, so that everyone can access clean personal transportation. Anyone who takes a test ride will get a gift certificates to Waterside Workshop’s Street Level Cycles bicycle sales and repair shop.
