The Freight and Salvage, Folk music venue in Downtown Berkeley, United States.
The Freight and Salvage is a performance venue with around 490 seats located on Addison Street, built with wooden elements that support strong acoustic qualities for live music. The space features comfortable seating and was designed specifically to enhance sound for musical performances.
The venue opened in 1968 inside a former furniture store and has relocated twice over its history. The building moved to its current location in 2009 following several decades of operation in earlier downtown spaces.
The Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music operates this nonprofit center, which reflects the community's deep commitment to keeping folk and world music traditions alive. Visitors experience performances that span folk, blues, jazz, and global musical styles throughout the year.
The venue sits one block from the Downtown Berkeley BART station, making it easily accessible by public transit. Advance tickets are available online, and there is comfortable seating throughout the space for all attendees.
The building incorporates reclaimed materials from its previous structure and features a green roof system. The design meets environmental standards and demonstrates a commitment to sustainable construction practices.
