Sidewalk Sessions 2026

This Summer, Sidewalk Sessions returns to Downtown Berkeley with a fresh series of live, acoustic performances activating the district from July through October 2026.

Featuring a curated lineup of local musicians, the program brings low-fi, unplugged music to sidewalks, plazas, and key corners throughout Downtown—creating moments of discovery, warmth, and connection during peak daytime and early evening hours.

Designed to enhance the everyday downtown experience, Sidewalk Sessions supports local artists while adding a welcoming, community-driven soundtrack to the streets.

Free and open to the public at locations across Downtown Berkeley
