Palestinian Events in NYC

New York City is home to one of the largest Palestinian diaspora communities in North America — and it shows up. From sold-out concerts and film screenings to olive harvest fundraisers, dabke nights, and the running weekly rhythm of teach-ins and cultural fundraisers, NYC's Palestinian calendar rarely goes quiet. Menna keeps a live guide to Palestinian events across New York in one place.

You'll find Palestinian culture across the boroughs — Bay Ridge and Sunset Park in Brooklyn, Astoria in Queens, and Manhattan's downtown venues. Concerts featuring artists like Saint Levant, DAM, Nai Barghouti, and 47Soul; film series and Q&As at BAM, Metrograph, Film at Lincoln Center, and cinema pop-ups; readings from Palestinian poets and novelists; JVP and SJP-organized panels and vigils; contemporary and traditional dance; and community iftars in Ramadan. Nakba Day commemorations in May and Palestinian Independence Day in November bring their own waves of programming.

Whether you're Palestinian, part of the diaspora, or an ally showing up in the years ahead — this is where the calendar lives. Browse everything upcoming below; the list updates as new events are announced.
