Now that it’s July, do you find yourself looking for something fun to do this summer without spending too much money or traveling too far? Luckily, there are lots of summer events happening near your Oakland apartments. Whether it’s an art event you think you’d like to go to or a farmer’s market, there are plenty of activities going on that you’ll have a blast attending solo or with friends and family. You should take advantage of the great weather this July in Oakland and if you have to, force yourself to get out of your apartments, change your routine, and see what’s out there. Here are some things you can consider doing in Oakland.

1. Head over to your local farmer’s market and see if you can stock up on some new healthy foods while mingling with members of your community. See if you find a particular vendor that appeals to you, and then make it a weekly habit of visiting them for their products and service.

2. Look up bigger scale events that are happening in or around Oakland on Eventbrite. This is a great site that simply allows you to type in your zip code and the type of event you’re interested in going to, and then you’ll be able to filter things out for yourself.

3. Check out Oakland’s 19th Annual Art and Soul Festival late this July. For more details, click here.

Don’t just stay inside and watch TV or be glued to social media- do something productive, such as creating new memories for yourself! Let’s make it a priority to make this summer- specifically, this July 2019- the best one you’ve had yet.  And not just for yourself, but for your friends and family too!
