Food, Art, and Music
After many months away, Oakland First Fridays are back in October with a COVID-safe reunion. This street festival grew out of the wonderful Oakland Art Murmur gallery crawl, which runs on the first Friday of each month.

This arts event welcomes visitors to experience Oakland as a unique urban destination celebrating the arts, creativity, food, the entrepreneurial spirit, cultural investment, growth, and innovation. Join in community to celebrate, sustain, and support the arts and Oakland’s creative economy.
