Solstice Square Dance with Round Top Stringband, caller Evie Ladin

The Hillside Club is a historic Berkeley Club. Founded in the late 19th century to promote good design practices in the Berkeley hills, the Hillside Club today is a community-based membership organization supporting the arts and culture.  We also rent the club as a venue for weddings, lectures, parties of all types, galas, fundraisers and more.
