ABOUT
Each year the festival brings together over 7,000 people to West Oakland’s historic Little Bobby Hutton Park. The festival has included a traveling environmental caucus & concert, an invitational Graffiti Battle, live-action sports, sustainable materials construction projects, live poetry events, free breakfast program, science and technology fair, multiple stages, and a variety of other activities. As we reflect on the voices of an emerging cultural majority, we recognize that our arts practices must echo and sustain the lives of the communities we engage.
