Sam's Mugshot

We should also mention our MC in the James Moore Theatre for the evening, the Express‘s very own Sam Levin.

Sam has some experience on the stage himself, but for this event, he’ll be introducing the performers and running the front of the house. Treat him nice; he’s a cutie!

Jessica Laventhal from the Express will be backstage this year, keeping the dance troupes on schedule… which will be especially fun with the 33 Bollywood dancers!

Band Spotlight #22: Goapele

Best of the East Bay Party main stage performer, Goapele, is featured on the cover of this week’s East Bay Express. We are thrilled to have her gracing our stage this year!

Kids, You’re Gonna Love This!

In addition to all the other fun activities planned in the Chabot Space & Science Center Kids’ Zone, we’ve added another extra cool hands-on activity. Exercise your imagination by adding to a giant collaborative Marble Maze! Tools and a wide range of supplies will be available for children of all ages to add paths for marbles to roll down this whimsical contraption. Presented by “Teach me to make“, whose hands-on, tinkering based workshops teach how to build things, light them up, and make them move.
