Oakland First Fridays is a monthly celebration of arts, culture, food, and community.

Come to downtown Oakland on April 1st from 5 to 9 PM on Telegraph Avenue from West Grand to 27th Street. Oakland First Fridays is a free event open to people of all ages. And, they keep vendor fees low to create opportunities for Oakland’s small businesses and artistic entrepreneurs. Each month has a theme.
