Every day from Feb. 16 to Feb. 16
Grand Lake Theatre · Grand Lake
Step into a 1926 movie palace where a live organist serenades you before the film. The Grand Lake delivers old Hollywood glamour with its Art Deco details and vintage charm: a refreshing antidote to cookie-cutter multiplexes.
October 16 at 7pm
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive · Downtown Berkeley
Jake LaMotta's rise and ruin hits harder on the big screen. Scorsese's black-and-white boxing opus turns every punch into poetry, equal parts brutal and beautiful.
Every day
Grand Lake Theatre · Grand Lake
Step into a 1927 movie palace where the Wurlitzer organ still rises from the floor before showtime. GOAT unfolds beneath gilded ceilings and twinkling stars in a space that feels like cinema's golden age never ended.
October 16 at 7pm
Eastside Arts Alliance · Jingletown • $0
Follow unhoused Oakland residents fighting eviction in this immersive documentary, then stick around for a panel with filmmaker Caron Creighton and community members.
Every day
Grand Lake Theatre · Grand Lake
Step back in time at a 1926 movie palace where a live organist still performs before weekend shows. The Grand Lake's gilded auditorium and rooftop neon sign make every screening feel like an event.
October 16 at 6:30pm
Crane Cove Park · Pier 70
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Say it three times and he appears on the big screen at Crane Cove Park. Bring a blanket, grab a spot on the grass, and watch Tim Burton's ghostly classic as the sun sets over the bay.
Browse the Bay Area neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
