For the past 6 years, Friends of Lincoln Square Park has held Lincoln Summer Nights, a monthly multi-generational (seniors and youth) community building event in partnership with many other Oakland Chinatown organizations. The goal of the series is to strengthen community bonds by co-creating a shared sense of belonging between generations and across racial and socio-economic divides. The event series focuses on bringing art, culture, games, and other services and resources to youth, families, seniors, and the community.

Yes! Contact us to volunteer. Lincoln Summer Nights is powered by dozens of volunteers just like you! You can volunteer as an individual or you can gather your organization and host an activity booth (craft, game, activity) or help lead one of the activity stations coordinated by the organizers. Volunteers are treated to food and treats and can take part in the Karaoke after-party.
