Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement to Launch City of Belonging Festival on May 21

The City of Belonging Festival, organized by the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, will commence on May 21 in recognition of Immigrant Heritage Month. This month-long celebration includes a series of community events designed to highlight and support the immigrant experience in Boston. The festival aims to foster inclusivity and celebrate the contributions of diverse communities. Community members can look forward to various activities that promote cultural exchange and understanding. “We are excited to bring together different cultures and experiences,” a spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office stated.

This initiative underscores Boston's commitment to being a welcoming city for all residents. The festival will feature workshops, performances, and discussions aimed at empowering immigrant voices. Last year, similar events attracted thousands of participants, highlighting the community's strong support for immigrant rights and inclusion.
