It will be a unique opportunity for the African Community and other communities to showcase their products and celebrate their cultures and traditions as well as sharing with the diverse community of Harlem and the United States.The African Day Parade promises to become one of the most diverse African cultural events to take place in New York City. The Parade brings together Performing Artists and Cultural Groups representing Central, North, South, East, and West Africa. The breadth of the work extends from musical performances to fashion, design, art, folklore, dance, and live bands.The African Day Parade is the brainchild of young African professionals from diverse backgrounds. These organizers saw not only, "a lack of representation on stages from the countries that comprise Africa," but "an absence of African culture in American festivals and cultural productions as a whole". It is intended that in the coming years, the Parade will become a forum for participating groups to share history and culture.
