Families and friends enjoying a past Hillside Festival
Visit the Festival schedule for Zoom links to our virtual events. Links will be in place shortly before each event. All events are free.
El Cerrito Trail Trekkers’ eighth Hillside Festival will be different this year, with a mix of live and pre-recorded online “hikes” plus self-guided events for families, friends and individuals to do without the crowds that have attended past, pre-pandemic festivals.
All live virtual events will be interactive, offering attendees the opportunity to show their faces and to speak. The events will be archived for watching throughout the rest of the festival – and beyond.
Live, virtual event, Saturday, May 8. 11 a.m. A Virtual Broom Pull. Broom! What is it? Why is it bad? How can we rid the Hillside and other natural spaces of this invasive weed? Our live discussion and Q&A features Howdy Goudey of the city’s Environmental Quality Committee, including movies showing Cub Scout Pack 104 using weed wrenches to remove broom. Learn how you can help restore habitat either with organized events – or on your own and with friends and family.
