Omnira Institute & The Oakland Black-Eyed Pea Festival sincerely thank you for joining us in celebrating 10 years of honoring Black culture — through historic music, delicious food (we hope you enjoyed those Black-eyed pea dishes!), and beautiful, handmade art.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support. To our members, community, donors, ticket buyers, first-time chefs and artists, our amazing MC of 10 years, our resident musicians, songstresses, and every chef and artist who shared their gifts — thank you.

To our festival family — thank you for posting and sharing online, capturing memories in photos, showing up with joy, bringing your children to create in the Kids Zone, and for filling the space with love and celebration. This journey would not have been possible without each and every one of you.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for 10 incredible years! ♥️♥️♥️
