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. 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. WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT OUR EVENT? Contact [email protected]
