Gold Runner is a proud sponsor of this year's Black Joy Parade in Oakland, a hyper-positive celebration of the Black experience and community. The Black Joy Parade is an annual event featuring a festival and procession that brings together the community to highlight Black joy past, present, and future. The festival includes hundreds of Black-owned vendors, live performances including the Black Joy Choir, and fun activities for the whole family. It takes place Sunday, February 26th starting at 12:30PM. The parade begins at 14th and Franklin Street in downtown Oakland, and the entrance to the festival is at 19th and Franklin St.

Gold Runner is proud to be sharing a booth with another key public transit agency-San Francisco Bay Ferry- at the festival, so stop by for information, games, and prizes!

 

The parade and festival are free and open to the public.
