Oakland is the home of many Latin communities and businesses that have contributed to the culture and history of The Town! Let’s honor the beautiful diversity this community offers through Latin food, music, art, and fun at First Fridays Latin Pride.

Featuring all Latin entertainment on the Main Stage with Latin DJs around the festival!

Oakland First Fridays is Oakland’s nonprofit signature monthly celebration of arts, culture, food, and community. It happens on the first Friday of the month and draws up to 30 thousand people from Oakland and the surrounding areas to celebrate our unique community.

It is a free event open to people of all ages, and they keep vendor fees low in order to create opportunities and reduce barriers to entry for Oakland’s small businesses and artistic entrepreneurs. Monthly themes focus on the communities of Oakland including LGBTQ Pride, Black Love, Latin Pride, Youth, Women, and many more.

And, on the first Friday of every month, Oakland Art Murmur hosts an evening art walk featuring arts and mixed-use venues collectively open to the public.
