This event is made possible by Oaktoberfest, The Dimond Improvement Association’s “Julie Johnson Public Art Fund” and the Dimond Library!
The Dirndl Diaspora is a play written by Kristen Caven for Oakland’s Oaktobefest in the Dimond District.
The animated film premiered in 2020 at the world’s first “online Oktoberfest!” and received an honorable mention in the 2023 LA Underground Film Forum.
Here’s the Facebook event for the fashion show!
Everyone with a homemade, hand-me-down, heirloom, souvenir, thrift shop or couture dirndl is welcome to participate—just show up!
