LIVE OAK FAIR Creativity and community are at the heart of the annual Live Oak Fair among the North Berkeley park’s heritage oaks and redwoods and alongside the charming Codornices Creek (above). The fair runs 10am-6pm this weekend, June 8-9. Expect to find affordable contemporary art, fine crafts, handcrafted jewelry and accessories, couture adult and kids’ clothing, handmade quilts and baskets, plus sculptural and functional objects in clay, fiber, glass, metal and wood. Plus: kid-friendly entertainment all day including live music, magic shows, puppets, and face painting. This year for the first time, Edible East Bay Magazine and Oakland Kitchener will present Edible Tastings — samples of edibles and sample body products at no cost. Proceeds from Edible Tastings sales benefit People’s Grocery in Oakland. Details at Live Oak Fair online.
SUNDAYS ON TELEGRAPH Telegraph Avenue is going pedestrian, from Durant to Dwight, every Sunday, 11am-6pm from June 9 through September 27. The initiative, which will feature live music, al fresco dining, and crafts on that stretch of the street — is part of the concerted efforts by Mayor Tom Bates among others, to help Telegraph get its mojo back. Blues group This Old Band will be there this Sunday and there’s a chance to get creative with an invitation to help make a giant, crowd-sourced mural on a 30 ft wall near Annapurna Berkeley between 2pm and 4pm. Paint provided. Check out SoTelegraph on Facebook for details (Twitter @sotelegraph).(...)
