The last free outdoor film screening of the year celebrating BAM/PFA's coming move to Downtown Berkeley is tonight, Friday October 4th. Copresented by the Downtown Berkeley Association, the final Endless Summer Cinema features Harold and Maude, a cult favorite and dark comedy from the counter-culture (shot in the Bay Area). Harold and Maude follows death-obsessed Bud Cort, a twenty-year-old who falls for the ageless charms of seventy-nine-year-old Ruth Gordon, a quirky anarchist who has thrown inhibition to the wind.

 

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs, and arrive early and eat at one of the many downtown restaurants. Also, Bittersweet Cafe and Cakes and Purls will be offering tasty treats and drinks on the Crescent prior to and during the screening.

Shattuck Ave from Haste Ave. to Rose St.
 
Sunday Streets Berkeley returns to Shattuck Ave. next weekend on Sunday, October 13th, 11am-4pm. Shattuck Avenue will be car-free from Haste to Rose so you can cycle, stroll, skate, dance and play in the open streets!

Sunday Streets Berkeley is a two-mile block party for people to experience Downtown Berkeley in a whole new way. Merchants along the route and local organizations creatively engage customers through inviting storefronts, outdoor seating, parklets, interactive activities, classes, performers, musicians, dancers, educational experiences, demonstration, special menus, and more!

Over 43,000 people attended last year's inaugural event. This year, we have even more exciting performances and activities, a new beer, wine & food garden on Center St. in Downtown, and added two blocks to the Sunday Streets route!
