 Hey y'all, my name is Summer from Cal TV Entertainment and today we are at Oakland's First Friday, which happens every First Friday of each month. Alright, so we have a mic here, the Marketing and Communication Director of First Friday. So, can you tell me a little bit about First Friday? Yeah, First Friday started in 2004 as a spontaneous neighborhood thing, and it quickly grew into a large guerrilla street festival. It's open to all the artists and makers of Oakland. Performers come out, we keep our vendor prices really low to support entrepreneurs and small artists, and all the food trucks that make Oakland great. Alright y'all, so when you go to Oakland's First Friday, you better be prepared for the bomb cuisines, the food trucks, and just all the great cultural food that they have to offer. He's donating a taco to me. All this exploring has made me hungry. How much right there? I got six tacos for 15 bucks. This is good to be out with people, you know, enjoying. 10 First Friday, you can also find some dope art and artists. I really feel like I get to show my work in a genuine kind of a way where I get to play my music, I get to have my life, I get to have my stuff the way I like it, as opposed to like if I was in a gallery or something. You can also participate in the making of the art. You can also find a free hug. What does First Friday mean to you? First Fridays to me is a place that gives anyone who's traveling an example of the Bay Area and the culture, the style, the art, you know, the beauty of the Bay. Just a lot of cool people coming through and they've been coming out through the years. So I think this is a cool place to show myself genuinely. Now I'm just eating food, listening to music, drinking, smoking, feeling good. And this is still a cheap night out for a family or a place you can go and sell cheap, buy cheap, have a really good time and everybody comes out. It's as open as it gets, I think. Enjoy yourself, have a good time, share, celebrate your community because we're all out here to hang out with them. My name is Summer from Cal TV and thank you for joining me on this journey exploring First Friday.
