Holidays

Holidays in New York City carry the weight of centuries, arriving from every corner of the Latin world’s mother cultures. Here, Catholic feast days blend with Indigenous ceremony, African diasporic devotion, and celebrations that predate all of them, tracking the sun and seasons themselves. This category gathers the sacred and the seasonal side by side, covering the religious observances and nature-marked occasions that bring NYC’s Latin, African, Indigenous, European, and global roots communities together throughout the year.
