As February comes to an end, consider putting a few Oakland events on your calendar.
Gather the entire family and take them to the carnival this weekend, or have an adult night out at the Noise Pop Fest. And if day parties are your thing, celebrate the leap day party at the Golden Squirrel. Last, if you're looking for something to do with the kids instead of the carnival, consider seeing Frozen II at The New Parkway Theater.
