Oakland First Fridays - Health is Wealth!

At Oakland First Fridays, we believe that "Health is Wealth," and this October, we're going all in! We’re diving deep into what it means to be truly healthy—physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. But here’s the game-changer: we’re bringing essential resources directly to the heart of Oakland. This is a celebration of life’s real treasures. Come soak up the good vibes, connect with your community, and access the tools you need to elevate your well-being. We’re committed to investing in ourselves and each other, and we’re making sure the resources come to you. Let’s uncover that true wealth together! We’re also excited to be partnering with Betti Ono in support of Black Tulip Week, which focuses on protecting Black women and girls from racialized gender-based violence in Oakland, as we stand united for collective care and empowerment.

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!
