About this Event
Join us for a festive weekend celebrating African food, culture, and community! The Holiday African Foods Market & Community Day brings together local vendors, families, and cultural enthusiasts for two days of connection and celebration.
Shop authentic African foods, handmade crafts, clothing, candles, and holiday gifts — all while enjoying live music, delicious bites, and a vibrant cultural atmosphere. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about Medi-Cal health coverage through a friendly outreach table, helping community members stay healthy and informed this holiday season.
🩺 What Is Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal is California’s free or low-cost health coverage program that helps individuals and families get the care they need — from doctor visits and prescriptions to dental, vision, and mental-health services. It’s part of California’s commitment to make health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income or immigration status.

- Pregnant people and new parents
- Seniors (65+)
