New city fees, fire safety policies threaten future of 2 beloved Berkeley events, organizers say

A change to how Berkeley enforces the state fire code will force two popular street events, the city's Juneteenth Festival and a holiday gift market on Telegraph Avenue, out of the locations where they've been held for decades. Meanwhile, city officials are also moving to increase the fees they charge organizers for those and other events an effort to better reflect the staff work that goes into planning for street festivals that is expected to add thousands of dollars to the cost of permits.
