The Cookout

Join us on Saturday, July 18th, 2026, in the heart of Harlem for an unforgettable day of food, fellowship, and community at the Harlem Summer Cookout, proudly hosted by the Morehouse NYC Alumni Association.

This vibrant, family-friendly celebration brings together HBCU alumni, incoming students, members of African American fraternities and sororities, and the broader network of Black organizations across New York City. Whether you're reconnecting with classmates, welcoming the next generation of scholars, or simply looking for a joyful summer gathering, this event is for you.

Expect an afternoon filled with great music, classic cookout favorites, games for all ages, and opportunities to network, build connections, and celebrate the rich legacy and future of HBCU excellence. From line dancing and spades tables to youth-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Come out, bring your family and friends, and be part of a powerful community experience that honors culture, connection, and collective pride.

Good vibes. Great people. One unforgettable Harlem summer day.
