International Day of Peace at Lake Chabot Regional Park
Celebrate UN International Day of Peace with the East Bay Regional Park District at a community event at Lake Chabot on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, from 5-8 p.m. Come join the Park District and partners for an evening of activities, music, and community centered on wellness! Be inspired by messages of peace from the community.
The Park District’s Annual Day of Peace event at Lake Chabot celebrates the rich diversity of park visitors and promotes unity.

The Day of Peace event stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, reaffirming the Park District’s unwavering commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. It sends a clear message that the Park District is committed to ensuring that Regional parks are a safe and welcoming space for all to enjoy.
