Oakland has a history of diversity, and the community is proud to celebrate it at the 6th Annual Black Joy Parade!
The Black Joy Parade has a mission to build our community. You may have enjoyed recognizing Black leaders through the Color Your Joy, Icons Among Us, Artist Lift Off or Best in Flow initiatives. The impact work continues at the biggest event of the year, right around the corner! A team of local volunteers has planned another signature parade for the Black community and allies.
