Black Joy Parade is a hyper-positive non-profit based in Oakland, CA that celebrates the Black experience and community’s contribution to history and culture with its signature parade and celebration, partnerships and events.
The Black Joy Parade will start 14th Street & Broadway at 12:30 PM and will end at Broadway & Grand Avenue.
We recommend arriving early to secure parking or utilize public transportation efficiently. Street parking in downtown Oakland can be limited, especially during large events. Several parking garages are available in the area but be prepared for potential wait times and increased rates. BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) has several stations within walking distance of the parade route and festival grounds, including 12th Street/Oakland City Center and 19th Street Oakland stations. AC Transit also offers numerous bus lines that serve the downtown Oakland area. Plan your trip in advance using the 511.org website or app.
