"Oakland Museum of California, Downtown Old Oakland by Pitch Interactive. The Oakland Museum hosts collections and programs that combine art, history and the natural sciences to explore Oakland’s and California’s identities. One of our favorite events is Friday Nights @ OMCA. It’s a happy mix of Off the Grid food trucks, live music, dancing lessons, half-off gallery admission, and more. Whatever you do, don’t miss a stroll through the gardens. The walk pairs well with a ginger tequila cocktail (on Fridays)."
