‼ Heads up absentee voters! ✉️

It is recommended that if you want to submit your ballot via mail to do so at least two weeks before the Election (by Tuesday, October 20) to allow time for your ballot to arrive before the cutoff at 8pm on Election Day.

The most direct way to make sure that your vote arrives at the Clerk’s Office by 8pm on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3) is to drop off your ballot at a designated drop box at City Hall before that time, or by placing it into a tabulator at an Early Voting site or at your polling location on Election Day.

More voting information can be found at berkleymi.gov/vote

Throughout the year, Parks & Recreation hosts special events and programs for the Community and beyond. We look forward to all the memorable ways we get to connect with each one of you during these events! It is also a wonderful way to collaborate with other City departments and share in the fun together. Each year we receive gracious donations from Community organizations and businesses that help make events like WinterFest, Berkley Beats and CruiseFest a success. Many of the special events offered are free and we are thankful for those who continue to support these programs through sponsorship. As we plan for 2027 we encourage your business or organization to take a moment to check out the 2027 Sponsorship Guide. This is a great opportunity to engage with the Community and we have a variety of sponsorship options to fit any budget. If you are interested, please let us know. 🤩

The whole guide is available here: berkleymi.gov/parksandrec
