Halloween Harvest Celebration

Sunday, October 26 • Colusa Circle

Come join us for a neighborhood tradition full of old-school Halloween fun! The Colusa Circle Halloween Harvest Celebration brings together families, friends, and neighbors for a day packed with costumes, music, games, and community spirit.

Kids can strut their stuff in the costume parade, fill up a scavenger hunt map for a free ice cream, climb on the hay bale play structure, guess the weight of the giant pumpkin, and meet animals up close at the always-popular animal show. Grown-ups can catch up with neighbors, browse the Farmers’ Market, and discover everything Colusa Circle merchants have to offer.

Take a look at the schedule, and plan a fun-filled day at this annual get-together. There’s something for everyone. It’s a party for all ages—because there’s no age limit on fun!

7th Annual Colusa Circle 5K

Zip Code East Bay is proud to present the 7th annual Colusa Circle 5K, a race to raise funds for a charitable cause. Set for Saturday, March 15th, this year's event supports The Watershed Project, a Richmond-based environmental organization dedicated to protecting and preserving our local watersheds. Starting at 8:00 AM in Colusa Circle, runners and walkers of all ages and abilities will follow the scenic sidewalk course through charming Kensington and El Cerrito neighborhoods, all while supporting a vital environmental cause.

Money raised from this year’s race will support the Watershed Project’s three-year initiative in the Wildcat Creek Watershed, which flows through Berkeley, Albany, Kensington, El Cerrito, San Pablo, and Richmond before reaching the North Richmond shoreline. We all live in a watershed, and we all live downstream from somewhere! Caring for the watershed starts on our front steps and our backyards.Their work includes restoration activities, community science initiatives, educational programs, and local advocacy efforts—all aimed at maintaining the health of our creeks and their surrounding environments.

Mark your calendars, rally your friends and family, and let's run together for a cleaner, healthier community! Secure your spot early at ColusaCircle5k.org for a discounted rate and join us in supporting this worthy cause. If running isn't your forte, consider lending a hand by volunteering—simply reach out to hello@zipcodeeastbay.com to get involved. Together, we can make a positive impact on our local watersheds.
