Very Jerry 13

The thirteenth annual Ashkenaz celebration of Jerry Garcia's birthday, "Very Jerry 13," is upon us! This beloved tradition has become one of the Bay Area's most anticipated tributes to Garcia, bringing together an all-star lineup of the region's finest musicians to honor his legacy.

This year's celebration goes beyond the music with a special silent auction featuring unique items, experiences, and treasures donated by our generous community. All proceeds from the auction and show directly benefit Ashkenaz, helping sustain our nonprofit mission to keep live music, dance, and cultural programming thriving in Berkeley.

Held at the historic Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center, Very Jerry 13 will be an evening of performances, dancing, and community spirit. We are grateful to these local musicians, who are once again donating their time and talent to celebrate Garcia's enduring influence while supporting the cultural institution that has welcomed generations of artists and audiences.

Join us for an unforgettable night of music, community, and generosity as we honor Jerry Garcia's birthday the Ashkenaz way!
