The Contra Costa Jazz Band is bringing live music to the 17th Annual Beaver Festival in Martinez. Spend the day exploring exhibits, activities, and learning all about local beavers — then stop by at 1 p.m. for an afternoon of live jazz.

Make a day of it with family-friendly activities, community booths, and entertainment throughout the festival. The Beaver Festival celebrates wildlife, education, and the return of beavers to local waterways.
