This year’s Art & Soul Oakland Festival will be moving from Labor Day weekend to mid August. For $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and kids age 13-17 and 12 and under free you can come and see Shawn Colvin, BoDeans, Bobby Caldwell, or Frankie Lee–among a plethora of other talent that will be performing. Not only will there be amazing live entertainment, there will also be art shows, dancing, food, local artisans and vendors, and more. This year, all food vendors will be using compostable plates, cups, and utensils too because the festival is going green! There will be recycling and compost stations throughout the event area. The festival will be in downtown Oakland and has multiple entrances. For more information about this year’s extravaganza, click here.
