Free Summer 2023 Carnival and Picnic at San Pablo Park (Berkeley)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

At this annual event, kids can enjoy games, inflatables, a petting zoo, and sports, while indulging in yummy food including hotdogs, burgers, and sweet treats.

Bring your kids to join others from around Berkeley for our annual carnival and community picnic, where they’ll be able to enjoy a day of games, food, and fun.

Youth are invited to jump on giant inflatables, scale a climbing wall, scramble through an obstacle course, or play a variety of sports. There’ll be carnival games, a petting zoo with bunnies and goats, and chances for little ones to play in the tot zone.

Your kids would join others coming from most of the 16 city-run summer camps, and kids from other camps are welcome, too.

Lunch is on us! Fuddruckers will serve hotdogs and burgers, ensuring everyone gets a satisfying meal. Exciting treats like ice cream, popcorn, shaved ice, and cotton candy will also be available, though we do anticipate some lines.
