The University of California, Berkeley, is holding its annual open house -- Cal Day -- on Saturday, April 22.

Cal Day hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Campus tours via a motorized cable car will be offered throughout the day. The open house also will feature lectures about ground-breaking research, performances by the Cal Band, and much more, most of it free.
