Families will find a day full of 4th of July adventure in Berkeley Marina. Adventure Playground, always a favorite, is open 11am-8pm. Get your face painted, try the giant slide, or splash in the water at the beach!

There's live entertainment from noon until 9:30 p.m.  on the main stage.

Acts include: 
Downtown Rhythm
Lee Waterman & Jazz Caliente
The Hipwader's Children's Music
Tin Sandwich Harmonica Trio
The Ian Franklin Band
Foxtails Brigaide
Steel Pans.

Also appearing will be Afro Cuban Rumba Drumming, Circus Art performers, and on The Buddy Club Stage in Shorebird Park you'll find jugglers and magicians. In Cesar Chavez Park, there's more food booths and a preview of the Giant Show Kites from the Berkeley Kite Festival coming up at the end of the month. Arts & crafts,  food, massages, free dragon boat rowing from 2-6pm, pony rides, a dunk tank, a mechanical bull, and much more including the grand fireworks off the end of the Berkeley Pier at 9:30pm provide an amazing day.

Ride your bike over the Berkeley Bicycle Overpass and use the free valet parking by Richmond Spokes near Adventure Playground. Or take AC Transit from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. This only runs until 6:30PM, however and doesn't come back into the marina. To leave on AC Transit, walk out over the freeway overpass after the fireworks to University and 5th St.

Free admission. Alcohol-free event. Free valet bicycle parking. No cars in or out after 7pm but lots of free parking before then. Sponsored by the City of Berkeley.  AnotherBullwinkelShow.com 510.548.5335.
