Your July Guide To First Friday: Oak Park
Each month First Friday is here to give the public in, around, and beyond Oak Park a fun introduction to the businesses within one of Sacramento’s most historic neighborhoods. Bring family and friends and get ready for unique food, shopping, art, and sweet surprises along the way. We have put together this guide to give you a little preview of the wonderful happenings First Friday has to offer this round.
We are happy to announce the return of the pop up park on 34thand Broadway, which will have live music for patrons to enjoy, as well as a raffle where a lucky participant will win goodies provided by some of the Oak Park businesses.
Grab a raffle card at any of the participating businesses below and make sure to get a signature by a member of each establishment on the card. Make sure to read all the directions on the card carefully because you don’t want to miss the chance to be apart of the fun.
