Oakland proudly celebrates its diverse cultures, unique heritages, and immigrant diasporas that make this country great. This year we’ll explore some of the communities that call Oakland’s Chinatown home. We’ll bring Japanese American, Chinese American and Southeast Asian communities to life. You’ll hear immigrant and refugee stories, and you’ll experience the beauty of a diverse cultural fabric woven together by those who sojourned to Oakland in search of a better life and a place to belong. This tour is limited to 25 attendees, so get your tickets soon. Easy; a level walk
