Inspired by the Oscar Award-winning documentary Summer of Soul, Co-Founders Nikoa Evans and Musa Jackson have reimagined the historic festival of 1969. Harlem Cultural Festival is a cultural movement that celebrates and preserves the cultural contributions of the black Diaspora in music, media, art, fashion and entertainment. Year round entertainment and social impact programming culminates in a multi-day annual cultural festival in Harlem, while creating an ecosystem to foster health and economic prosperity for Harlem’s diverse communities, artists and entrepreneurs.
