We spend a lot of time telling you how Oakland is the Sunny Side of the Bay, but from time to time we'll get rain as well. Don't worry though, that doesn't stop us from having a good time. Here is a quick guide on where to go if you are looking to run inside and escape the rain. 

Grab your sweetie because we're putting the LOVE in #oaklandloveit! We'll make sure you're ready because out here, we won't pardon your "French!" 

The weather is always on point in Oakland and chances are you are never going to overheat here. But in the spirit of summer and summer fun we want to help keep you cool.

Silence may be golden, but here in Oakland, we like a little more bass in our evenings. Oakland's music scene kicks it up with a large population of musicians; Kehlani, Mistah F.A.B., Too $hort, -- that have a variety of venues to play at, from stages that are merely a section of the bar floor to those places where the band is on a pedestal and the velvet curtains part.

With the addition of Kevin Durant to the crew, this team is will be in the spotlight. After winning 73 games last season, #Dubnation will be louder than ever as this new team attempts to chase history. It's obvious why watching a Warriors game will be popular this year... What you might not know is what to do with the rest of your time on game day.

Are you in The Town to cheer for our teams? Just steps off the Oakland BART stations you can grab a bite with the family, or pre-game with your fellow fans. Wanna keep the good times going afterward? There are also perfect ways to close out the night right in the home of the teams you love.
