Black Joy Parade

PHOTOS: Joyful sights and sounds abound at Oakland’s Black Joy Parade

on February 26, 2023

Bands, dancers, clowns, cowboys and cool cars filled downtown Oakland Sunday afternoon for the Black Joy Parade. Wet streets and chilly weather didn’t discourage hundreds of people from enjoying music, food and a host of activities for children and adults. In its sixth year, the parade celebrates the Black experience and culture. It also promotes Oakland’s many Black-owned small businesses.

    Summer has finally arrived, and with it, it’s time to use bright and fresh summer colors in your art! I cannot help but take this opportunity to embody on canvas all the joy and beauty that this sunny season brings. Summer inspires me to experiment with bright shades of summer colors and create works filled with warmth and positive emotions. Onward to new summer artistic adventures!
