For over 50 years, HARLEM WEEK has celebrated the culture, creativity, and global impact of Harlem. What began as a one-day event has evolved into a multi-week celebration and year-round platform that connects community, commerce, and culture.
Today, HARLEM WEEK serves as a living archive and a future-facing engine — amplifying voices, supporting businesses, and creating meaningful experiences that bring people together from across New York City and around the world.
The free event, also available via livestream, will feature street festivals, concerts, film programs, career fairs, and more.
