upcoming Oakland events

There aren't a lot of events happening in Oakland this week that I know about, but there are some of the regular events. I confirmed that the Art Murmur is happening this Friday, but haven't heard yet about the tour at the Paramount. No special mention on the website, so I assume it's on.

What interesting events are happening in Oakland this week? Let me know in the comments!

Art Murmur - Friday, January 6, 6pm-9pm. It's the First Friday of the new year, so it's time for the Art Murmur. The galleries are installing new displays, so come check out the latest artwork in Oakland. (free)

tour the Paramount - Saturday, January 7, 10AM. Tour the historic Paramount Theatre, an Art Deco gem of Oakland and get to see behind the scenes. ($5)
