The Great Recession, and then the pandemic, did in some of the last holdouts. But not Berkeley's Back Room, which celebrates its 10-year anniversary this month.

The Grand Lake Theater is kicking off its 100th birthday with free screenings of classic films including "The Wizard of Oz," "Singing in the Rain," "Fantasia," and "Snow White." Space is limited, and it is first-come, first-served. The theater will also offer tours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The free, family-friendly celebration brings together hundreds of local fans for a day packed with team pride, food and drink vendors, local makers, music, and player appearances.
