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.
Harlem Week 2026 will run from August 1-16, with a lineup of events including special screenings, youth enrichment activities, career fairs, and so much more!
On August 5, Columbia Climate School & The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce will host a conference that looks at the Climate Change issue and its disproportionate negative impact on communities and countries of color. Hear from local researchers, government agencies, and community leaders on the challenges New York City faces and learn about opportunities to empower communities like Harlem to lead the way into a cleaner, safer, and healthier tomorrow.
