11th Annual Temescal Street Fair

What started in 2004 as a little street fest sponsored by a small group of local merchants has blossomed into one of Oakland's premier cultural events. In 2005, the Temescal Telegraph Business Improvement District (TTBID) took over the fair's sponsorship and, since then, the event's growth has been substantial. This year, there will be multiple stages of entertainment and 11 blocks of vendors, offering even more chances to promote local artists and craftspeople.
