“We Belong Here” to take place at Central Park’s Wollman Rink on Oct. 10-12
New York City’s Central Park is about to become the center of a unique and empowering event. “We Belong Here,” a three-day festival of music, art, and community, will take place at Central Park’s Wollman Rink from October 10th to 12th. This exciting event promises to bring people together from all walks of life to celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and belonging.
Organized by the non-profit organization, The Belonging Project, “We Belong Here” aims to create a space where people of all backgrounds can come together and feel a sense of belonging. With a lineup of talented musicians, artists, and speakers, this festival is set to be an unforgettable experience that will leave a lasting impact on attendees.
The main focus of the event is to promote inclusivity and celebrate diversity. The organizers believe that everyone has a right to feel like they belong, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other factor that sets them apart. The festival will showcase the talents and stories of individuals from different backgrounds, emphasizing the idea that we are all unique and yet, we all belong.
The festival will kick off on October 10th with a performance by Grammy-nominated artist, Janelle Monáe. Known for her powerful and empowering music, Janelle Monáe is the perfect choice to set the tone for the rest of the event. Along with her, there will be performances by other renowned artists such as Lizzo, Hozier, and John Legend. Each of these artists has their own unique style and message, but they all share the same belief in the power of inclusivity and belonging.
In addition to the musical performances, there will be a variety of art installations and exhibits throughout the festival grounds. These displays will showcase the work of talented artists who have used their art to express their own sense of belonging and to inspire others to do the same. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the artists and learn more about their stories and the message behind their work.
Apart from music and art, “We Belong Here” will also feature a series of talks and workshops focused on promoting inclusivity and celebrating diversity. Speakers from different backgrounds will share their personal experiences and insights on how we can create a more inclusive and welcoming society. These talks and workshops will provide attendees with tools and knowledge on how they can become agents of change in their own communities.
The festival will also have a variety of food and beverage options, including a diverse range of cuisines from different cultures. This is yet another way in which the organizers are promoting inclusivity and celebrating diversity. This will not only provide attendees with delicious food options but also allow them to experience and appreciate different cultures.
“We Belong Here” is not just a festival; it is a movement. It is a call to action for people to come together and create a world where everyone feels like they belong. The organizers believe that events like this can have a significant impact on society, and they hope to inspire and empower people to make a difference in their own communities.
The festival has already garnered a lot of attention and support from individuals and organizations who share the same values and beliefs. The Belonging Project has partnered with several non-profit organizations to make this event a reality, including The Trevor Project, Black Girls Rock!, and GLAAD.
Tickets for “We Belong Here” are now available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the partnering organizations. So not only will attendees have an amazing time at the festival, but they will also be contributing to a good cause.
