Time certainly moves quickly, and it’s amazing how suddenly we find ourselves past the middle of the year. Now that July is here, that means summer is in full swing and we have to take advantage of it! Have you made any plans yet on how to make the most of it? The great thing about living in Oakland is that there are plenty of activities and events you can entertain yourself with going on around you. A good thing too is that the majority of these attractions don’t involve you driving too far or spending too much money. If you’re looking for summer events near your Oakland apartments, consider doing one (or more) of the following things:

1. Get a little walking done at your local farmer’s market. This is a great way to refocus on your health, get to know people in your community, and pick up some fresh foods to enjoy at home. For more information on your local farmer’s market, click here.

2. Do some research on Eventbrite to see if any music festivals or concerts are going on around where you’re at. Music is a great escape from life and definitely has the power to heal- so go to as many shows as you can! Make the most out of this summer by dancing it away. Concerts are also a great place to make new friends or find potential dates.
