The Berkeley Festival and Exhibition is a biennial early music festival that takes place in even-numbered years, usually over a week in June. Produced by Cal Performances in association with the Department of Music, University of California, Berkeley, the San Francisco Early Music Society, and Early Music America, the festival is largely performed at First Congregational Church and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, both in Berkeley.
