About StaceyFest

Picture this: It’s a sunny day in Oakland and Frank Ogawa/ Oscar Grant Plaza. Music is blasting, a disabled dancer is on stage, an ASL Interpreter is signing the lyrics. Rows of people, some in chairs, some with canes, all watch and sway and cheer. Further down the plaza, a line tables are busy with people. A nearby building has a door open leading to a low sensory room where people are quietly recharging and resting. At the row of tables, each one has a representative from a different group sharing ways to engage in their group, learn about services offered by their organization, or to purchase food from disabled vendors. This is disability joy in action. This is StaceyFest.

Disability Justice Culture Club Presents: StaceyFest: A Disability Love and Legacy Celebration.

StaceyFest is the first disability culture festival held in Oakland in recent memory. It is intended to be a transformative community gathering. By supporting this event, you are not only honoring the legacy of Bay Area disabled community of which Stacey thrived in, but also uplifting the many people and groups that continue doing the important work she was a part of.

In a COVID-present world, we want to highlight the dynamic and complex experiences that make up our community. StaceyFest will focus on the powerful disability networks and culture we have right here, through storytelling, performance, art and more. We will have a livestream portion for people to participate virtually as well as provide documentation of the event afterwards.

All donations make an impact. We are extremely grateful to do this work to honor Stacey Park Milbern and all our crip ancestors.
