YaVette Holts is preparing for Oakland's Small Business Week festival on May 8, which aims to celebrate and revitalize the cityâs downtown area. The event will include food trucks, vendors, and entertainment, emphasizing the contributions of small businesses to the community. Holts, a cultural strategist, highlights the festival's role in drawing foot traffic to downtown and fostering connections among residents. This year's focus shifts to involve the community more directly, making it a vibrant celebration to acknowledge local efforts and economic contributions, alongside historical support from lenders and policymakers.
The festival, from 3 to 7 p.m., is the highlight of Oakland's Small Business Week activities. It's a celebration and an acknowledgement of what small business means to The Town.
The whole point is to create a showcase that highlights the small local businesses that are putting in the extra effort, making products and offering services for the betterment of the community.
