Black Joy Parade

  • Downtown Oakland 1399 Franklin St Oakland, CA, 94612 United States (map)

Your joy drives Black growth! It’s our 7th year as a volunteer-run organization and movement which means Sunday, February 25, 2024 will be a bold celebration of community and culture. Each year thousands of people showcase their joy, fuel Black business, artists, and more. Together, we've created an experience that builds up and gives back to our amazing community.

What’s to expect:

  • 200+ Black-owned vendors including food, drinks, clothing, handmade items, and more.

  • 2 stages of Black performances, including a soon to be announced headliner and The Black Joy Choir

  • Activities for the whole family at Lil Joy for kids, Games n’ Grooves, and Healing Village.

  • The Black Joy Parade official merch

  • And of course the largest Black Joy Parade procession in the world!

The parade begins on 14th and Franklin in downtown Oakland, CA at 12:30pm PST. Following the parade, the festival begins at 12pm and ends at 7pm. The main entrance into the festival is 19th and Franklin Streets.

Admissions are free for all so bring your friends and family!
