30th Anniversary Picnic

North Hills Community Association (NHCA) is proud to host a community picnic* on October 17th, an event open to everyone, celebrating community and holding tribute on the 30th anniversary of the Oakland/Berkeley Firestorm.

This community day at the lake will include:

Live music
food trucks
interactive activities for children
information from community groups about how to prepare for and stay safe during community emergencies.
A tribute to those who perished in the ‘91 firestorm
There will be firetrucks! We expect at least two wonderful rigs to pull up to the event – firefighters will be onsite to enjoy the day, honor those lost in the ’91 fire, and engage with picnic guests
Musical performances from students of Oaktown Jazz, Bently Lower School, and Bently Upper School, and Scott Jensen

Invite your friends and neighbors!

Bring your favorite picnic games!

Enjoy celebrating community spirit at this all ages, dog-friendly, community-oriented day at the lake where friends and neighbors can gather outdoors in a “comeback” both from the quarantine, from pandemic worry and from firestorm fears

The Community Comeback Picnic at Temescal is an all ages event and is free to attend.
$5 parking in the main lot as available; free street parking

*Bring your own picnic or buy something from our food trucks: coffee, gelato, gyros, rice platters & more.
