The 2023 Life is Living Festival returns Saturday, October 14, 2023 in-person at Lil Bobby Hutton Park in West Oakland. Life is Living is a community-powered and community-run festival in West Oakland's Lil Bobby Hutton Park that is dedicated to resilience, the joy of living, and the health of the environment and all its inhabitants.

This multi-generational, multi-disciplinary festival celebrates and highlights everything that is beautiful about Oakland – the joy, diversity, adversity, and revolutionary spirit that vibrates through the streets of the city. Join us as we continue the legacy and tradition of celebrating The Town.

Breakfast is 10am-12pm with food served in partnership with Understory Oakland and the festival runs until 7pm.

Gratitude: Thank you!
