As the Labor Day weekend is upon us, and summer moves into autumn, there are a lot of things to do in Berkeley. Treat your senses to a smorgasbord of fun and interesting activities. (And since sight is one of your senses, take it from Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley: you want to see what you are hearing, tasting, and experiencing!)
Want to just stroll
along, looking around, with no set game plan? Then you will like this event,
which is literally, a stroll. The Solano Avenue Stroll kicks off on Sunday
morning (again, on September 9th). From 9:00 in the morning to 6:00
early evening, you will have 26 blocks of Berkeley at your disposal, where you
can visit any number out of 500 vendors, non-profits and food stands, not to
mention live entertainment.
For those who can’t just stroll along, but feel the need for
speed, you can be part of World Run Day,
and register for The
Virtual Labor Day Run, this Monday, September 3rd. Run through
the streets of Berkeley and “put yourself on the map.” Then, take a breather
later on and check out the Chairlift
concert at the University of Berkeley’s Sprout Plaza. This Brooklyn-based duo
will be on hand for a free synthpop concert, so may all of us Northern
California residents make them feel welcome!
While we’re on the joys of live music, there will be a concert, solely dedicated to percussion,
at the LaPena Cultural Center, taking place on Sunday, September 9th
at 7:30 pm. Adrian Areas, Jaz Sawyer and
Javier Navarrete will be drumming up a storm of pulsating music and rhythm.
(And remember, part
of the enjoyment of live music is seeing the passion and energy of musicians in
action. Walking (or running) through the streets of the colorful town there’s a
lot to see. You want to be sure that your eyeglasses and/or contact lenses are
in full force to appreciate everything. And, since we are already in town, stop
by Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley for a visit.)
Have a great Labor
Day weekend, and a spectacular September!
