Lunar New Year x Black History Month 2026: Celebrating Asian & African-American Solidarity

Join us on Saturday, February 7, 2026, for the Oakland Asian Cultural Center’s fourth annual Lunar New Year x Black History Month Community Celebration.

We are so excited to welcome our community back for another celebration of Asian and African-American solidarity through art, music, and dance, a Kids + Teens Zone, and a local vendors’ marketplace.

This event is part of OACC’s ongoing Open E.A.R.S. for Change initiative, which started in 2020 to build stronger relationships among local APIA and Black communities. It is presented in partnership with the National Council of Negro Women Alameda County and EastWind Books, and sponsored by Dr. Raymond L. Eng. The full sponsor, partner, and performer list is pending.
