2025 CARIBBEAN FESTIVAL

On Saturday, August 9th, 2025, Columbia County Sanctuary Movement will host our 2nd Caribbean Festival in Albany, NY From 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM at Jennings Landing!

Join over 2,000 people from across the region in Albany for a day of celebrating Caribbean culture, its people, arts, and local businesses.

The Hudson Valley and the Capital Region has a huge immigrant population that is often overlooked, undeserved, and underrepresented in the region. The Columbia County Sanctuary Movement has a mission to strengthen immigrant power around the region.

Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy popular national dishes from the places where many of our community members originate. The sharing of a meal has been a tradition since the beginning of time that celebrates family, culture, the exchange of thought & philosophies, and most importantly, the preservation of history through storytelling.

This year's Caribbean Festival will boast an array of popular local and international musical and cultural performances. We will have traditional stilt walkers, healing stations, circus and other activities for kids, community resource tables, and more. Join us for a day of community family fun with the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement.
