Cultural Wonders Await in New York
As Ellis Island welcomed millions of immigrants in the early part of the 20th century, New York became a true melting pot of different cultures. From Little Italy to Chinatown, the city is a mecca for cultural exploration. From taking a special cultural tour to participating in a cultural celebration, New York has many options for an upcoming vacation.
This annual parade draws almost a million visitors and participants each year as people gather to celebrate the life of General Frederick von Steuben and the German community of New York. The parade will take place on September 19. The parade route covers 5th Avenue and beyond and includes marching bands, people in German costumes, floats, and more. Whether you are German yourself and want to celebrate your heritage or want to be a part of this exciting annual event, the Steuben Day Parade is certainly a sight to see while in New York.
Fans of Italian food and culture should put this event on their calendar so they do not miss out on a great time. This festival takes place September 19 through 20 in Little Italy near Brooklyn, New York. This event features traditional Italian food, music, and entertainment. Beginning as a celebration of the Patron Saint of Naples, this event is now a fun weekend full of entertainment. New York has always had a thriving Italian community, and you can celebrate their history, culture, and contribution to the city at this festival.
Harlem was the scene of the African American arts movement in the early 20th century known as the Harlem Renaissance. Today, the city is better known for its gospel singers and roots. The Harlem on Sunday tour is a four-hour experience in Harlem that will take you to legendary spots, including the Cotton Club, Strivers Row, and Sugar Hill. The tour concludes with a Harlem Gospel service. For an interesting look at the culture of Harlem then and now, this tour is an excellent choice.
