Civic Love Block Party
Civic Love is a celebration of community, culture, music, art, and block partying in The Town.
We're excited to have three amazing local musical talent:
1. Wildchoir, a group of incredible singers whose purpose is to invoke the power of music to activate humanity towards radical love and action - from the stage to the streets (https://www.wildchoir.org)
2. Jazz Mafia, an eclectic artist collective of forward-thinking and accomplished musicians, a prolific staple of the quintessential Bay Area scene (https://www.jazzmafia.com/)
3. Prospect Band, group of wickedly talented musicians from Oakland School for the Arts (https://www.instagram.com/_prospect.band_/?hl=en)

❓FAQs
Can I invite others?
Absolutely! This is a public celebration—meant to bring people together in shared space. Please spread the word!
What should I bring?
Blankets and chairs to sit on while you enjoy the music. Umbrellas, parasols, or other personal shade - this new park doesn't yet have a shade structure. Ideas about what you'd want to see in Oakland! An open heart ready to meet new friends.
Bring your peeps, and enjoy some civic love!
