Palestinian Culture Festival Day

The heart of our celebration! Join us for a full day of Palestinian culture in Dorchester’s beautiful Borough Gardens. Experience live music from acclaimed performers Saied Silbak, Bint Mbareh, and Tasneim Zyada. Participate in traditional Tatreez embroidery workshops, enjoy authentic Palestinian cuisine, and browse our marketplace featuring Palestinian goods. Activities for all ages include storytelling, arts and crafts, and a dedicated children’s tent. The Maqam Books pop-up shop will offer literature that deepens understanding of Palestinian culture and history.

Part of a week-long celebration dedicated to preserving and promoting the vibrant cultural heritage of the Palestinian people. Through music, art, literature, cuisine, and community, we create a space where Palestinian voices are amplified and traditions are honoured.
