Honoring our Ancestors - Free 2 day Event in Old Oakland

Welcome to the 5th Annual Honoring Our Ancestors 2 day celebration of culture traditions and remembrance. Two days filled with culture, art, hands on activities, family and friends.

It will be on Friday, Oct 18 5-8pm, and Saturday, Oct 19, 12-4pm in Old Oakland at 9th and Broadway. We are closing the street both days!

The whole block of 9th St and Broadway in front of E14 Gallery, will be closed for 2 days, starting at 461 9th St, Oakland. We invite you to join us in ceremony, altar and art making, music and dance in honor of all our ancestors.

The focus of this year's celebration in Old Oakland is to Honor Our Ancestors and foster unity and respect in our Oakland community. We aim to do this through sharing cultural practices and help people find commonalities within each other’s culture through the visual representations that will be displayed, activities and conversations.💖.We are having Aztec, Cambodian, Chinese and other ceremonies throughout the 2 days, and about 20+ altars from the community on the street.

Hope to see you there!
