The Berkeley Bay Festival took place on Saturday, April 13, and Berkeleyside photo intern Kaia Diringer was there to document the day of fun.
The free festival is organized by the City of Berkeley and the Marina Experience Program, and was inaugurated 76 years ago in 1937 when the Marina first opened. Its purpose is to showcase the activities and environmental education that are available at the Marina and locally.
Activities on Saturday included music, free sailboat and Dragon boat rides, a variety of food, street theater, building and climbing at the Adventure Playground, and visits to a straw bale building and with Berkeley firefighters.
