Come and help Berkeley celebrate itself in one of the most colorful, irreverent, and fun events on the west coast. The Thirteenth Annual "How Berkeley Can You Be!?" Parade kicks off on Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 11:00 A.M. It starts at the corner of California and University Avenue and proceeds up University Avenue to Shattuck, turns right on Shattuck to Center Street and then goes down Center Street two blocks, where it ends in Civic Center Park. Anywhere along that route is a fine place to watch the parade. Traffic on University Avenue is restricted so please take public transportation. The downtown Berkeley BART station is on the parade route on Shattuck Avenue.
