FREE Event: Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage Celebrates 50 Years with Cross-Cultural Music Fest
Berkeley cultural institution and not-for-profit organization Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse wants to thank the local community for 50 years of support by hosting a free festival this Saturday.
The block party style event will host music inside and outside the coffeehouse on three stages, along with food trucks and family-friendly activities. There’s also a globally-diverse musical lineup (see further below for a list of acts by stage and performance time) with music ranging from Punjabi pop and dance, to Cajun, calypso, jazz, and soul.
Since it was founded in 1968, Freight & Salvage has grown from a small coffeehouse into a world-famous venue for traditional music of a variety of origins. The venue’s purpose is to promote the understanding and appreciation of traditional and roots music. Join them for the celebration and get schooled in the universal language of music.
