Beowulf Marathon
|
Since 1954, Berkeley has been home to the annual Beowulf Marathon in which students, professors, and members of the community gather together to read Beowulf as it should be read: aloud, all the way though, in Old English, and with beer.
The marathon typically takes place in May; check the calendar for more information.
