About us

East Bay Adventures is a group of active, friendly folks interested in socializing with others over 40 at interesting and fun events mostly (but not exclusively) in the East Bay. From dinner to drinks, walking to biking, street fairs to concerts, chances are we're doing it! So join in the festivities, have a great time, and make new friends.

Suggest and Host Events
Have an idea for a good adventure? Contact the organizer with details about a possible event, and we'll see what we can do. Note that business propositions will be ignored.

Members who are outgoing, organized, and punctual are encouraged to host events. Being an event host is an easy, fun responsibility that allows you to reach out and find others who share your interests.

It is recommended that events are limited to 12 or fewer people so people have a chance to talk and get to know one another.

Attendance Policy
Meetup is all about meeting and interacting with people in person or live on zoom. Please RSVP to events ONLY if you plan on attending.

Did your attendance plans change? Update your RSVP!

No shows and last-minute cancellations make hosting events more difficult, and they can be grounds for removal from the group.

Alice in Wonderland - Free Theater Play in Berkeley
Sun, Jul 19 · 4:00 PM PDT
John Hinkel Park Amphitheatre 41 Somerset Place Berkeley, CA, 41 Somerset Place Berkeley, CA, Berkeley, CA, US
Join us this summer as we fall down the rabbit hole together! To see Actors Ensemble's first production of their 2026 Summer Season in the beautiful John Hinkel Park in Alice in Wonderland, adapted by Brainerd Duffield from the book by Lewis Carroll and directed by Michael Sally.

Alice in Wonderland is the classic tale of young Alice, who follows the White Rabbit into a magical and mystifying world of March Hare's, Cheshire Cats, Mock Turtles, and Mad Hatters - among other classic characters who have enchanted young and old since Lewis Carroll first wrote down these tales to amuse himself and Alice.

Free-of-charge, reservations encouraged (especially for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility) but not necessary.

This play is also playing the following days in July :

July 3rd Friday @ 4:00 PM
July the Saturday @ 4:00 PM
July 5th Sunday @ 4:00 PM

July 11th Saturday @ 4:00 PM
July 12th Sunday @ 4:00 PM

July 18th Saturday @ 4:00 PM
July 19th Sunday @ 4:00 PM

Items I recommend you bring with you:

Wear something to keep you warm (blanket, jacket, etc), since it gets pretty chilly.
Also bring a picnic chair, seat cushion or something comfy to lay down to sit on.

Important Note on Parking :

There's very limited parking in the posted address and the road is very narrow.
You will need to park either near Southampton Ave or San Diego Rd and walk to the event venue. .

First Saturday Book Group: "The Death of the Heart," then Brunch
Sat, Aug 1 · 10:00 AM PDT
Live Oak Park, 1301 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA, US
On the first Saturday in August, we will discuss The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen.

August's book is a personal recommendation from one of our members and a favorite of acclaimed author Ann Patchett.

Info from Goodreads

Synopsis:
In this piercing story of innocence betrayed set in the thirties, the orphaned Portia is stranded in the sophisticated and politely treacherous world of her wealthy half-brother's home in London. There, she encounters the attractive, carefree cad Eddie. To him, Portia is at once child and woman, and he fears her gushing love. To her, Eddie is the only reason to be alive. But when Eddie follows Portia to a sea-side resort, the flash of a cigarette lighter in a darkened cinema illuminates a stunning romantic betrayal--and sets in motion one of the most moving and desperate flights of the heart in modern literature as only just begun.

NOTE: We are currently exploring locations. In the past, we have met at Live Oak Park, Crepevine, and Saul's in Berkeley.

***Make sure you can receive email from this Meetup group.***
