Oakland First Fridays – Be the Dream

New year means new goals, new aspirations, and new dreams! What are yours? It could be becoming the best version of yourself, achieving new business milestones, things one could only DREAM about. Here at Oakland First Fridays, we're all about inspiring people to succeed on every level. Let's start the year off strong with showcasing you. Be The Dream, Be YOUR Dream!✨

On Friday, January 6th, 2023 we're kicking it off with BE THE DREAM! Come through for local food vendors, retailers, activities, performers, and greatness!

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 from 5pm-9pm on Telegraph Avenue from 22nd to 27th Street. It draws up to 30,000 people from Oakland and the surrounding areas to celebrate our unique community.

It is a free event open to people of all ages, and we keep vendor fees low so we can create opportunities and reduce barriers to entry for Oakland’s small businesses and artistic entrepreneurs. We appreciate any donations to help us run this cherished event!
