Harlem Week is a month long celebration of one of New York City’s most lively neighborhoods. Harlem is a cultural center for African-American culture, music, food, art and more.

Harlem also has been influenced by other ethnicities and Harlem week festivities include African-American as well as Caribbean, European and Hispanic art and culture.

The world famous Apollo Theater is located in Harlem. It is where many famous musicians and singers, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Jackson 5, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill and many more, got their start.
