Beyond the main stage and exhibitions, the Berkeley Early Music Festival promotes community participants through its "Fringe" program. The Fringe is a platform for self-produced concerts by Bay Area soloists and ensembles, and provides a performance outlet for a diverse range of artists, including recreational and educational groups, amateurs, pre-professionals, and rising stars. |

Comment: The NYT piece is solid but the San Francisco Early Music Society is a primary source and not independent so should only be used very sparingly, if not avoided. Routine announcements are not helpful though they can be used to verify basic facts. American Recorder is quite niche. If you can clean up the prose to remove the promotional language and find one more source with in-depth coverage, it should pass. S0091 (talk) 18:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Although inline references are not strictly speaking required for articles on topics such as this, they are nevertheless very much preferred, as they, and only, show clearly where each piece of information comes from. And they are required, per WP:ILC for advice. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Sentences like "Today, the BFX festival has become one of the world’s largest and most important early music conclaves" read like a promotional piece. Also, for this draft, you do not need to place any words in boldface other than the main subject. You also should not have an external link to the official website in the article WP:ELOFFICIAL) Relativity 21:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: We'd need one or two more independent reliable sources. Plus I'd also recommend using in-line citations. Qcne (talk) 21:42, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

The Berkeley Festival and Exhibition (BFX) is a week long, biennial early music festival held in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, United States.[1] BFX is currently produced by the non-profit organization San Francisco Early Music Society (SFEMS).
Founded in 1990 by Robert Cole, then-director of Cal Performances, the festival started as a mirror event to take place during Boston Early Music Festival and Exhibition's off-years at the University of California, Berkeley.[2][3] The event promotes historically informed performance,[4] focuses on the works from the Medieval, Renaissance, and baroque periods, and features local and international performers.[5]
Beyond the main stage and exhibitions, the Berkeley Early Music Festival promotes community participants through its "Fringe" program. The Fringe is a platform for self-produced concerts by Bay Area soloists and ensembles, and provides a performance outlet for a diverse range of artists, including recreational and educational groups, amateurs, pre-professionals, and rising stars.
In 2004 and 2008, during periods of financial stress, the California state's university system (Cal Performances' underwriter and the festival primary sponsor) was forced to withdraw. The festival experienced a downturn. The increased costs to use campus room forced all events (main, fringe and exhibition) to move off-campus to venues like the First Congregational Church of Berkeley. Later, the larger-scale productions were put on hold[6].
Today, the festival's main stage is still in Berkeley, California. Exhibitions and marketplace for period instruments, special events, as well as the fringe are also held in the nearby cities of San Francisco[7] or Palo Alto.
