Our Events
The Rockridge District Association (RDA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides district services in Rockridge, Oakland. The purpose of our nonprofit is to support Rockridge merchants, restaurants, and service providers located on College Avenue between Broadway and the Berkeley border (including some adjacent streets). The majority of the live music will be outdoors, but some indoor locations will be available.
Our concentration is on “street performers” — who are typically drawing small crowds and entertaining passerbys — while shops promote sales, restaurants offer special menus, and so on. College Avenue remains open to street traffic during the event. Given the format, smaller bands with their own portable power supply or ones that can perform without amplification may have a better change of being selected. In the form below, be sure to let us know if you have that flexibility.
We promote our events through advertising, media outreach, social media, and by strategic marketing partnerships such as Visit Oakland, BART, and various community groups. Our flagship event is Rockridge Rock-N-Stroll (annually in August), with other events throughout the year, especially during the holiday season.
If you have more than one band, please complete a separate form for each.
