Things to Do near Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley CA in October

October does not get the credit it deserves as a month of fun and enjoyment. The staff of Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley came to this conclusion after years of witnessing the many kids who come in to our store in September, getting eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses – all in preparation for school. October is just a reminder that school is in full force.

But open your eyes to October, everyone! This is the perfect time of year for enjoyment and excitement! The weather is not as hot as summer and there is no need to stress out (yet) over preparing for the holidays. There are events galore to feast on (and we don’t just mean Halloween candy), so take advantage of some fall fun!

Site for Sore Eyes would like to let you in on an upcoming event that movie lovers (particularly classic film buffs) will love. To whet your appetite for Halloween (excitement as well as candy), take a trip to nearby Emeryville on Wednesday, October 24^thfor a classic double feature, as the AMC Bay Street 16 will play the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, courtesy of TCM. These Golden Age of Horror movies have been restored in all their ghoulish glory. Clean your eyeglasses or make sure your contact lenses are properly in place, and enjoy.

And now, for the Halloween holiday itself, get psyched for the Halloween and Day of the Dead goings on at Civic Center Park. Don’t be fooled. It’s not all ghouls and ghosts (although they will be joining in). Farmers markets will have stands set up, and there will be cultural art, and live music and dancing. For more information, call 510-548-3333.

So take advantage of October! There is a lot to do in this one single month, and Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley is at your service, as we are throughout the year, to keep your vision healthy. After all, you wouldn’t want your eyes replaced, a la Mr. and Mrs. Frankenstein, would you?
