Annual Events in Berkeley, California

Berkeley is a city located in the San Francisco Bay area of Northern California and is home to the University of California in Berkeley, which means that tourists staying in holiday homes in Berkeley can take advantage of the vibrant student atmosphere and cultural events associated with the university, considered the crowning star of the University of California system.

Since Berkeley is within easy driving distance of San Francisco, visitors to the city can easily take advantage of the many tourist amenities in this city. These range from walking across the world famous Golden Gate Bridge that spans the bay to having an authentic Mandarin or Cantonese meal in the several blocks that make up Chinatown. Also not to be missed is a bowl of freshly-prepared clam chowder on Fisherman's Wharf and taking a ride on one of the cable cars that climb up and down the steep hills, which make up much of the city landscape.

Annual Events

Berkeley is also home to a large number of annual festivals celebrating various aspects of American and San Francisco Bay culture. These include the Jewish Music Festival each March and the Berkeley Arts Festival in April and May as well as the Juggling and Unicycling Festival, which takes place during the summer months of July or August. Also in the summer is the Kite Festival. May brings the annual Himalayan Fair, but the most unusual of all, perhaps, is September's "How Berkeley Can You Be!?" festival and parade.
