The 2019 Yale Multicultural Block Party will celebrate this year’s theme “Belonging Matters” through art, song, dance, spices and more. Now in its seventh year, the Multicultural Block Party is an annual, family-friendly event. All members of the Yale Community are invited to attend. The event is sponsored by a collaboration between Yale organizations, including the eight affinity groups, and local businesses. Try to visit all the affinity group and community partners tables as we celebrate the myriad of ways of belonging. See the map of the day’s programming here.
