Wine tasting is often abundant.
Oakland Art and Soul Festival 3 Day weekend
Monday, July 21st, 2008
The Oakland Art & Soul Festival is coming up! I go every year and am looking forward to Zion I this year. I must admit it is becoming more expensive and having less talent that interest me, but it is still a local event worth checking out. It is sponsored by mainly Comcast so maybe that’s why it is changing? Lots of music, 3 days and plenty of local vendors.
