Rich with rhythms from around the globe and around the corner, the Laurel StreetFair is dedicated to celebrating our cultural roots, our community and the traditions that bring us together - reflecting all that is uniquely and beautifully Oakland. In these challenging post-pandemic times, we bring to life a robust, global music festival spanning more than 8 city blocks full of hope, rhythm, art, makers & crafters, cuisine, folkloric traditions and a whole lot more. A destination for all ages and abilities, the Laurel StreetFair World Music Festival shines the light on a traditionally underserved area of Oakland and shows that joy is always universal and that art will always be a tool of resilience, healing and connection.
