Cultural Events
In order to spread the culture awareness and give the Arab community in Queens a chance to exhibit the culture of their homelands, AMLN runs a variety of public events all over to share the Arab tradition, customs and heritage. This has included music showcases, poetry readings, and community lectures. In 2010 AMLN organized the first ever Astoria Arab American Heritage Festival, taught traditional Arab dance classes and hosted Arab folklore days for children in partnership with local Queens County Libraries.
AMLN believes in preserving and improving the environment we live in for the sake of our families, friends, and neighbors. This is why AMLN organizes an annual clean-up day of Astoria Park: a public space that enhances the quality of life for all people in our community. This event usually coincides with the National Arab-American Service Day. Each year nearly a hundred volunteers come out to help clean the shoreline, clear the pathways, and improve the quality and safety of our park.
