Welcome to
Nowruz Market
It’s a pleasure to bring you a Nowruz Market that is queer, political, and celebrates the artistry of our community.
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Nowruz Market!
🕰 March 8th, 12-4PM
🏫 Oakland Asian Cultural Center. Above the Oakland Public Library Asian Branch.
🚙 Parking available at OACC for $4/hour; elevators and stairs from the ground floor to the second floor where the event is held.
🚃 OACC is located a five minute walk away from 12th St BART.
🎟 $10-30 sliding scale fee for entry. Cash or Venmo. No one turned away for lack of funds.
😷 Masks required except when eating.
Come and prepare for the holiday with us, shop for Eidi for friends and family, and reconnect with your community in anticipation for the new year and arrival of Spring! Nowruz Market is a queer event, which for us means that its purpose is to support us all on a path to liberation. For the third year, we are bringing you a Nowruz celebration in resistance to the powers that seek to capture, separate, and control us. It’s more important than ever to support artists and culture keepers. We appreciate your support for our artists and chefs, who pull out all the stops every year for this event, and pour their love and labor into their work.
The market will include delicious food, snacks, and preserves, handmade jewelry, ceramics, prints, tattoos and more. Enjoy complimentary tea and our beautiful Haft Sin altar!.

$2-10+ sliding scale suggested donation for entrance to the market. Proceeds will cover organizing costs and the rest will be donated toward purchasing esims for Palestinians in Gaza. Cash or Venmo. No one turned away for lack of funds.
It’s with love and deliberation that we are coming together to bring you this market, as we carry forward our cultural practices in direct resistance and opposition to the forces that make the violence of separation from our homelands possible. It’s in solidarity and our commitment to each other that we will be donating proceeds from the event toward efforts aiding our siblings in Gaza.
The market will include delicious food, snacks, and preserves, handmade jewelry, ceramics, prints, tattoos and more.
Looking forward to seeing you all there🌷
Happy Nowruz and Free Palestine🍉
