The Umoja Festival is the bay area’s largest free outdoor
celebration of the African diaspora. Our annual music and culture
festival is a full day of live local and internationally renowned
musicians and dancers, interactive and experiential artists, and
marketplace of curated artisan and food booths representing a wide
array of different regions of Africa. Umoja is the Swahili word for
unity and represents the belief that through unity we make vital
economic and social progress. This grassroots collaboration grew out
of a desire to bring together the marginalized voices of prominent
African communities to fully participate in Oakland and the greater
bay area’s growth.
