Berkeley Events... Coming Right Up
Another Bullwinkel Show
Event Management — San Francisco East Bay Area
We put on real Badenov events — mostly free street festivals, art & culture events, business socials, theme parties, picnics or whatever else sounds fun. We’ve got the scoop on the local scene, where to go and what to do — we're real Ms. Know-It-Alls...
BERKELEY MUSIC CIRCUS:
World Sing-Along
For the past months during COVID, neighbors have been singing, dancing, and playing instruments together on Wednesdays at noon from windows and porches around the world. For a few moments each week, a little bit of joy fills the air. Take the week before to learn the songs. Keep your hearts and lungs open by singing. Be safe – sing with physical distancing and masks, please.
Here is the program. Words are online:
| Date | Click the title for lyrics |
| Wednesday, Oct. 7 |
Landslide (The Chicks) |
| Wednesday, Oct. 14 |
Lift Every Voice and Sing (Beyonce -Black National Anthem) | Wednesday, Oct. 21 |
Signed Sealed Delivered, I’m Yours (Stevie Wonder) |
| Wednesday, Oct. 28 |
This Land is Your Land (Peter, Paul & Mary) |
You will have one week to learn the words or practice on an instrument. These are simple songs and easy for everyone to learn. This will give kids incentive to practice their violin or flute and lessen the boredom of being sequestered, just a bit. It may even put a smile on your face.
If you have the chutzpah, please act as the conductor, starting your neighborhood off at the same time and setting the tempo for the music. Or bring out some speakers and sing along. Take a photo or video and please link it to https://www.facebook.com/AnotherBullwinkelShow/ along with your location or neighborhood.
The Berkeley Music Circus was originally conceived by Dan Plonsey during the Berkeley Arts Festival many years ago. As the Chair of the Civic Arts Commission, I thought I might just drum up some civic arts. Thanks for playing! Feel free to spread this widely.

KITE FEST UP-DATE:
We are sad to report that due to Covid-19 there will be no Berkeley Kite Festival this summer. The good news is that our new Summer Kite Making Program is FREE thanks to the City of Berkeley's Civic Arts Grant and will be available to all, for as long as our supplies last. Through this new program we hope the kite festival organization can be of service to our community especially during these challenging times.
