Life is Living is a FREE celebration of Oakland life through Hip-Hop, intergenerational health, and artistic expression. This year’s 16th annual festival is an homage to the Black Panther Party Survival Conference, and a celebration of 50 years of Hip Hop as we return to the roots of the festival under the leadership of Edutainment for Equity.
