The 11th Annual Juneteenth Celebration
We are excited to announce that the 11th Annual Oakland Juneteenth Celebration! Please join us on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at 925 Brockhurst Street Oakland, CA 94608, between Market Street and San Pablo Avenue for a day of music, free health screens, historical education and family fun. This year’s theme is “African Americans from Past to Present have been, and continue to be Resilient in America and Across the Globe.” Our event brings together people of all ethnicities and cultures of the Greater Bay Area to celebrate the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrate the impact of the record breaking Black Panther Movie and empowering message of hope and resiliency.
Thanks to sponsors like Alameda County Behavioral Health, the Akonadi Foundation this Oakland Juneteenth Celebration has brought people from all over the city together to commemorate this unique moment in history. Last year, over 1,000 people enjoyed the festival that included live music, free health screenings, oral history presentations, free food, quilting, and many other symbolic activities to commemorate our African American heritage. This year we will again honor individuals; Ryan Coogler, Director of Black Panthers and his parents, organizations such as ABPsi. We will provide even more opportunities for the community to hear from the voices of our ancestors:
§ Live Blues, R&B, Hip Hop, # ALL IN NATION Gospel Hip Hop Stage, and Jazz Performances
§ Vendors & Community Resource displays and sales
§ Kids Zone - Arts and Crafts, Face Painting, Critical Thinking Games
§ Health Zone to provide health screening & resources
§ Morning Educational Workshops; hosted by ABPsi
