Welcome back Oakland First Fridays!
After a brief pause, the heart of the city is pulsating with life, creativity, and community spirit once more. Oakland First Fridays is back! Enjoy a night of art, music, delicious food, and vibrant culture. It’s time to rekindle the magic and
embrace the energy of this beloved event.

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.
