Come join us for our anniversary Community Open House! Music fills the Freight from ceiling to roof as we throw open our doors from noon to 4:00 pm today for a free, family-friendly musical celebration featuring an amazing array of performances and workshops for folks, kids, and folks with kids! Dancing in the aisles, singing on the stairs, and fiddling in the lobby are sure to ensue as we invite the Bay Area music-making community (including you!) to meet for an afternoon's extravaganza of song circles, family music performances, sampler workshops, bluegrass and acoustic blues jams, Irish traditional sessions, storytelling, shape note sings, and much more. Bring your kids, bring your friends, bring your instruments, and help fill the Freight with music.
