Celebrate what’s true about the holiday season with Harlem for the Holidays. With its rich cultural history, diverse restaurants, entertainment, shopping and more, Harlem is the perfect place to be.
Sundays are always special in Harlem, when the many beautiful churches send the rousing sounds of gospel choirs through the historic brownstone-lined streets. It’s easier than ever to explore all that Harlem has to offer, with free trolleys making stops throughout the neighborhood every Sunday. With so much holiday cheer happening uptown, you'll want to celebrate Harlem for the Holidays all season long.
A handy guide to all of the Harlem for the Holidays participants and a map of the Sunday trolley route can be found at the link below.
