FOLK CLUB NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
On summer holiday weekends, SFFMC hosts multi-day music gatherings in the Bay Area. Most people now come for “day use” and go home to sleep, but overnight camping (including motorhome parking) is also usually available. For Memorial Day weekend this year, we will be at Cedar Rose Park in Berkeley where we had our 2024 Memorial Day gathering, on Saturday May 24 and Sun May 25, for day use only, 12 noon to 8:30 pm. We will return to Camp Herms, a 20-acre camp high in the El Cerrito hills, for our July 4 and Labor Day weekend gatherings: Friday July 4 to Monday July 7 and Friday August 29 to Monday September 1. More info about our summer gatherings is here.
