The Freight joins forces with Berkeley Old-Time Music to host their Spring Situation community open house, a free afternoon of old-time stringband picking, singing and dancing, including a family dance, cabaret-style concert sets, jam sessions and workshops galore on all manner of making music with people.

Noon to 1:00 pm: FAMILY DANCE with caller Evie Ladin and OPEN BAND (this means YOU!) led by Erik Hoffman in the lobby—all ages welcome! Dances will be geared towards families and kids, with some that even a babe in arms can do! You don't need to bring a partner, and no previous experience is necessary, Evie will teach all the moves. And when you're worn out from dancing, pick up an instrument and join in the open band!
