FESTIVALS
What makes this year’s festival unique?
The last time this festival took place, it was just after the pandemic, when some half of Harlem’s fitness and wellness and businesses closed for good. This year’s festival is a celebration of the businesses that have persevered for decades or more, as well as the many new fitness and wellness spaces that have opened in the past few years.
Share with us what you LOVE about your festival location?
Marcus Garvey Park is a green oasis in Harlem, located centrally between East and West Harlem, and surrounded by the brownstones of the Mt. Morris Park Historic District.
The theme of our issue this year is JOY, how do yoga festivals inspire JOY?
This festival brings joy because it is a celebration of the strong minority and women owned wellness community that Harlem has built over the past few decades.
