Celebrating artistry, resilience, and unity, over 400 attendees gathered to witness a truly inspiring day of UNITY at the BOSS’ 3rd Annual Black August Block Party in Oakland. Held in the State that birthed Black August and the city that ignited the Black Panther Party, the event was a powerful reminder of the community's strength and history.
The weather, atmosphere, and our amazing host, Comedian WightOut, made sure it was a day filled with laughter and connection, engaging with vendors, performers, and resources to capture the true essence of Black August and the culture.
With the "UNITY" theme, this year's event inspired solidarity and collective action in our ongoing fight for social justice.
Attendees got a chance to witness an exhilarating lineup of live performances, captivating art installations, delicious food from local vendors, and a Black Market showcasing the talent and creativity of Black entrepreneurs. The event also featured resource booths providing information on crucial community services and opportunities for engagement.
