A scene from last year’s party.

You have not quite experienced a Fresh Jamz party until you attend their annual summer edition one at Lake Merritt. DJ Odiaka and DJ Delgado, the two folks behind Fresh Jamz, have a monthly party at The Night Light but the outdoor one takes the cake. With its music lineup of dope DJs, Fresh Jamz brings together the socially conscious good folks of Oakland: teachers, educators, non-profiteers, public defenders, artists and more. Who doesn’t love an outdoor day party where you can mingle with likeminded folks, all while DJs DC is Chillin, Odiaka and DJ Hector get on the mix. This Saturday, get your shades, shorts, sundresses and sandals ready, and head on over to the Lake Merritt Amphitheater. I hear that a surprise guest will jump behind the decks.
