Oakland First Fridays is Back (Finally!) on April 12th
Oakland First Fridays returns on April 12, 2024. After a seasonal hiatus, the popular First Fridays block party was originally scheduled to return on April 5, 2024, however, due to forecasted rain, the organizers decided to postpone the event.
Thankfully, with decent weather in the forecast, the organizers just announced that the Welcome Back event will be held on Friday, April 12, 2024.
“After a brief delay, the wait is finally over! Join us this Friday, April 12th, as we make up for lost time and kick off our official Welcome Back event. Get ready for an evening filled with excitement and unforgettable moments”
Oakland First Fridays is an immersive art and community experience on the first Friday of each month from 5-9 pm for five huge blocks on Telegraph Avenue from West Grand to 27th Street.
Oakland’s KONO district (Koreatown/Northgate) springs to life for this event, with galleries, artist collectives, street artists, local culinary artisans, performers, musicians, dancers, DJs, and poets gathering for Oakland First Friday events.
