BAA Café

The BAA Cafés were semi-regular informal entertainment and social activities with a dose of environmental education and action thrown in. They often featured local musical artists and were fundraisers for BAA and/or the artists. Refreshments were served and a sliding scale donation was asked for.

Frequency

BAA Cafés were more or less monthly for the first couple years of BAA’s residency at the 504A Emerson Street basement.
