Celebrating our shared heritage as an immigrant city and recognizing the important contributions of immigrants to Philadelphia.
In June, Philadelphia celebrates Immigrant Heritage Month, a special time to recognize and honor the valuable contributions immigrants make to our city.
This year’s theme, “Generations of Strength: Honoring the Past, Building the Future,” highlights the importance of celebrating the legacy of earlier generations and empowering today’s youth to shape tomorrow’s community.
Throughout the month, residents and local organizations will join together to celebrate immigrant experiences, encourage cultural understanding, and reaffirm Philadelphia’s commitment to welcoming and supporting immigrants.
Experience “The Philadelphians,” a powerful public art projection honoring Philadelphia’s immigrant communities, past and present.
Created by local artists Hironaka & Suib, the work lights up Love Park daily, and is accompanied by engaging workshops, talks, and community events.
Explore arts, history, and cultural treasures while honoring Caribbean contributions to American life. This program also recognizes National Caribbean American Month.
Every June, we honor and celebrate America’s rich and diverse culture, which includes the Caribbean-American population.
Celebrate World Refugee Day with inspiring live performances by talented refugee artists, a diverse selection of international cuisines, and immersive cultural exhibits.
Enjoy engaging community dialogues, interactive workshops, and heartfelt storytelling sessions.
