Harlem Week

Harlem Week began in 1974 as Harlem Day, a day of encouragement and fellowship in Harlem for New Yorkers.  Given the huge success of the celebration, more days were added to showcase the community’s rich economic, political and cultural history. Celebrating its 44th year in 2018, Harlem Week offers over 100 events throughout the summer to over 2 million attendees from all over New York and the world.  Harlem Week celebrates the neighborhoods assets and unique flavor, promoting Harlem’s rich African, African-American, Caribbean, Hispanic and European history, culture, arts, religion, entertainment and sports.
