Weekly farmer’s market
Load up on an abundance of seasonal foods every Friday 8am - 2pm when 9th Street closes down to traffic and opens up to the freshest produce. Rain or shine, for more than 20 years, the Old Oakland Farmer's Market is the longest standing weekly market in the nation and home to some of California's most revered certified farmers and food purveyors.

Concerts & Events
Dance, sing, feast, gather and celebrate artistry in our open spaces. We can divide or annex to accommodate groups from 10 to 1000+. Our multi-functional spaces start in gorgeous brick alleyways, spill out into parking lots or take place in our historic and light-filled indoor spaces. Come dream with us and host your next event here.

We love to host the creative and thought provoking events and shops that benefit from a semi-permanent engagement. These are the activations that bring excitement and spark imagination. #boldoakland
