About this event
Celebrate the soul of "The Town" at the Oakland First Fridays street festival. This immersive evening turns Telegraph Avenue into a bustling, creative marketplace where thousands of visitors gather to support local artists, makers, and small businesses. This month's "Oakland Rides & Town Vibes" theme showcases the distinct car communities and creative energy unique to the East Bay. Grab dinner from a massive lineup of local food trucks, explore independent art collectives, and dance in the street to live performances from local musicians and DJs.
