July 23, 2025 | Northbrae Lanterns Unveiling Set for Aug. 9

Friends and neighbors:

Here, courtesy of our friends at the North Branch of the Berkeley Public Library, are the details about the Saturday, Aug. 9, unveiling of the re-created bronze lanterns that will again top the large stone pillars outside the library at the corner of Hopkins Street and The Alameda. The public is invited.

Long-lost lanterns may soon light up Berkeley’s Northbrae neighborhood

Hope to see you there!
