The Night Market, an homage to SPARC-IT Place, was youth-entrepreneur focused in collaboration with Storefront Records!

The ceremony’s featured speakers included Congresswoman Simon, Supervisor Bas, Oakland’s Mayor Lee, Felicity Gasser with State HCD, Dominica Henderson from OHA, and Oakland resident, Ms. Cook.
