Oaktoberfest in the Dimond

Mission Statement

Oaktoberfest Mission Statement

Oaktoberfest is the principal fundraiser for the Dimond Improvement Association (DIA) and Dimond Merchants Association. These two non-profit organizations strive to represent everyone in the Dimond District including residents, merchants and visitors. Their mission is to revitalize East Oakland’s Dimond District, forming partnerships to achieve streetscape improvements, business development, crime reduction, beautification, and create celebrations of community, culture, and history. The community has a unified voice to advocate for a shared vision, while generating resources to provided services and tangible improvements that local governments can no longer afford. Through volunteerism and fundraising, together we make the community a vital, safe, and attractive place for everyone. Oaktoberfest brings together business, non-profit, school and government organizations to build awareness and collaboration around mission aligned goals.
