THE OAKLAND
ART AND SOUL FESTIVAL,
September 3, 2006.


The Oakland Art and Soul Festival is one of my favorite Bay Area festivals. In the past few years Ziggy Marley and Los Lobos have been featured performers. There were six stages this year, including music and dance stages. I attended the festival with my friend Shawn and her two daughters.
