2025 gala dinner & soirée
MARK YOUR CALENDAR'S FOR MOCHA'S 2025 GALA DINNER & SOIRÉE!
Experience visual and performing art at the Museum of Children's Art's: The Golden Age of Hollywood 2025 Gala Dinner and Soirée on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
Start the night at Nile Hall in Preservation Park dressed as a Golden Age of Hollywood movie star. A finely crafted meal will be served, compliments of Englund's Catering, while you enjoy the artistic and music talents of Bay Area youth. With hearts and tummies full, hit the dance floor and celebrate our impact on Oakland and the Bay Area community!
We invite you to celebrate with us at this interactive event to advance the mission of MOCHA. We believe in using the arts as a vehicle to advocate for self-expression, culture and community-building, and the centering of youth voices.
