City of Belonging Festival

The celebration of all people is integral to the heart of the City of Boston. We want residents to feel both a sense of belonging in the City and to each other, and to know that Boston belongs to you. Through building a City of Belonging, we want to ensure that Boston includes people of all backgrounds, and that we are a City where all immigrants feel a deep sense of connection, acceptance, and inclusion.

A City of Belonging is more than just a place. It's a community where newcomers feel welcomed, respected, and valued, regardless of their cultural background or origin. It's a city that prioritizes diversity, equity, and social cohesion. It's a home where immigrants can thrive and fully participate in all aspects of economic, civic, social, and cultural life.
