The Afro-Diasporic Ocean Festival is a multidisciplinary, day-long, free cultural event that uplifts the sacred relationship between people of the African diaspora, Indigenous communities, and the ocean at Rockaway Beach Amphitheater on August 15, 2026. Through live performance, ritual, movement, and storytelling, the festival centers cultural preservation, ocean reverence, and community gatherings.
