The traffic on University Ave. in Berkeley was shunted aside to make room for a parade. It was a little unclear to me whether it was a stand-alone event, or part of other events.
This site states:
Berkeley, California (Friday, June 05, 2009) - On Sunday, June 7, the World Peace Spiritual March will travel in and around Downtown Berkeley, causing some traffic and AC Transit buses to be re-routed. The detours will be in effect between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Which sounds rather ecumenical, but
this other site implies it was specifically a Sikh parade:
Gurbachan Singh, president of Gurdwara Sahib, Elsobrante, has appealed to the Sikh sangat to converge at at the gurdwara on June 7 (Sunday) in large numbers to participate in the Nagar Kirtan in connection with the martyrdom day of the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
I think it was (probably) primarily a Sikh event.
