About this Event

Celebrate Culture, Community & Global Connection in Harlem!

Presented by New York African Chorus Ensemble, Inc., in collaboration with New York City Police Department 30th Precinct and the 30th Precinct Community Council.

Join us for the 17th Annual NYC Multicultural Festival, a free, family-friendly celebration of the cultures that make New York City extraordinary. Experience two exciting festival days filled with live music, dance, cultural discovery, food, creativity, and vibrant community energy in the heart of Harlem.

The NYC Multicultural Festival was created to celebrate New York City’s rich diversity while actively working to reduce hate crimes by fostering understanding, unity, and cultural appreciation. Inspired by a call for stronger relationships between police and community to combat racial and ethnic discrimination, the festival brings people of all backgrounds together through shared cultural experiences that build connection, respect, and community pride.
