For the eighth year, the Freight & Salvage celebrates incredible talent with the Berkeley Bluegrass Festival, April 26-April 28, 2024. With concerts programmed by Grammy-award winner Laurie Lewis and the Freight’s Artistic Director Peter Williams, plus curated instructional workshops, Berkeley Bluegrass Festival brings together leaders of the genre, up-and-coming artists, and music fans for three days of concerts, jams, workshops (free for ticket holders!), and good old-fashioned merriment to kick off the summer music festival season.
SHOWS
All shows take place at Freight & Salvage, 2020 Addison St in the Littlefield Room, our state of the art listening room except for Gallery Stage performances which take place in the Freight & Salvage lobby before show time. Three Day Passes available (advance purchase only).
