Top 10 Concerts & Shows in Berkeley, California (CA)
The counter-culture, flower power center of the 60s, bohemian Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel scene. Shift into low gear and people-watch along quirky Telegraph Avenue while checking out the bookstores and cafes. After strolling through the UC Berkeley campus, the Berkeley Rose Garden and the Downtown Arts District, head into the hills for an outdoor adventure in Tilden Park or cruise down to the waterfront park, where the San Francisco skyline sparkles across the bay.

Legendary Berkeley-based nonprofit folk music performance venue that really rocks.

Freight and Salvage feels like a gathering of friends even if you don't know ANYONE! The calendar of events, both music and community, is stellar. I saw Booker T there. It was such a delightful evening. I want to be one of the people that goes there OFTEN! It's an important community resource and has been in Berkeley for ages. Staying power!

Zellerbach Hall is a multi-venue performance facility on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, west of Lower Sproul Plaza. Zellerbach Auditorium is the main performance venue for Cal Performances, a presenting and producing arts organization. The facility is suitable for dance, theater, and opera, and has a built-in concert shell that provides an excellent acoustical enclosure for symphonic and other classical music performances.

We've attended many concerts here and always enjoyed good sight lines and good acoustics. There is a parking garage underneath. The theater is right on campus.
9. Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA)

Reviewed By Frank-in-SF - San Francisco, United States
I have been visiting BAMPFA for the past couple of years on the first Thursday of the month, which is a free admission day. I always find their exhibits interesting if not fascinating. The building is impressive, the gallery spaces range in size from intimate to cavernous, making each perfectly scaled for the works presented. They have some gems in their permanent collection, which are not on permanent display but are instead intermingled with loans in their themed temporary exhibits. The staff at the front desk and bookstore are pleasant and helpful. I find their bookstore/gift shop to be very good, considering that BAMPFA is not a major museum. I would definitely recommend a visit on these free days. I've never actually paid admission, but I think it would be worth it, especially for those who aren't in town for these free Thursdays.
