Oakland First Fridays

This street festival grew out of the wonderful Oakland Art Murmur gallery crawl, which runs each First Friday. The event is now managed by and as part of the non-profit group KONO, the community benefit district. The goals of bringing art to and enriching the community are at the heart of this event.

This monthly 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.

We welcome all to participate.
