Oakland’s First Fridays are gone for the rest of the year, organizers announced just weeks after canceling November’s festivities.
“With heavy hearts, we announce that our November and December events are cancelled due to funding shortages,” a spokesperson said in a statement shared with KRON4 Monday. “We want to be clear: We are NOT cancelling because of violence or crime. We are cancelling because of finances.”
