Dream Day 2023: A Celebration of Life In Honor of Mike “Dream” Francisco

Legendary graffiti writer, Michael "Dream" Mendones Francisco, was born August 15, 1969. Michael was a graffiti writer who pushed boundaries on the West Coast aerosol art scene in the 80’s and 90’s but unfortunately fell victim to gun violence in 2000.

To this day, many remember Dream for his bright personality and the way that his relationships with other writers, communities, families, and friends helped unify the Bay Area’s different creative territories.

The City of Oakland proclaimed the day of his passing, February 17th, to officially be Dream Day. A day to commemorate his contributions to the city. In addition to Dream Day, we gather to celebrate his life and legacy on/around his birthday. Keeping the Dream alive.

In 2010, John Francisco, Marty Aranaydo, and members of the Oakland graffiti crew TDK organized the first Dream Day as an homage to Mike “Dream” Francisco.

This year’s Dream Day takes place in Oakland, CA with an assortment vendors, festivities, refreshments and more to be announced as the date gets closer. This is an all age event & everyone is welcome to be in attendance.

We plan to have live painting during the duration of the event, a VIP section including cannabis vendors, a full bar with liquor and wine, live music, and completed artwork from Mike Dream and other local artists on display.

With your support in celebrating Mike Dream, we hope to build community by honoring the legacy of one of our own local legends. We intend to educate and continue to enrich the lives of the longtime residents of Oakland, as well as newcomers, through artwork and community involvement.
