Since 1987, the Loisaida Festival has been the largest community pride festival in the neighborhood and a highly anticipated cultural event citywide attracting over 25,000 attendees every year. Because of the global pandemic and subsequent NY State on Pause mandate, the festival was presented in digital/virtual format for two years in 2020 and 2021. Now, with high vaccination rates across the city and the benefit of being outdoors, the festival will return in person for Memorial Day weekend!
