October 28, 2022 @ 5:00 pm 9:00 pm

Free

Featuring Inti Batey and “La Muerte Vive”, DJ Lady Ryan; Oakland Public Library Storytime; My Oakland Pop-Up

Get ready for heart pounding drum beats, love ballads, Indie voices, and dance! In honor of Día de los Muertos, join us in the OMCA Garden for a musical performance titled “La Muerte Vive” by Inti Batey (The Sun-Gathering), a collective of artivists from different latitudes of the Latin American diaspora, who create unique experiences with Latinx, Afro-Latin, and Indigenous-inspired musical roots, poetry and dance creations.

From 6–7:30 pm, “La Muerte Vive” will perform in the Garden. La Muerte Vive is an energetic and heart opening musical experience that commemorates Day of the Dead by honoring our beloved ones who have passed, celebrating their legacies, and reactivating our powers through healing modalities, creating a space for community joy and reflection.

Prepare for election season with My Oakland, a community advocacy and voter registration pop-up event, in the OMCA Garden hosted by the Oakland Lowdown and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Learn critical ballot information for the upcoming November election and engage in conversations about what’s important to Oaklanders. 

Enjoy music in the Amphitheater by DJ Lady Ryan from 6 to 8 pm. Make sure to stop by Oakland Public Library’s Storytime in the OMCA Garden starting at 5:15 pm.

*Performances are subject to change.
