Home isn't just a place—it's the traditions, stories, and celebrations that shaped who we are. At Hillside Senior Center, we understand that honoring your cultural heritage is essential to feeling truly at home. Our Cultural Festivals program brings the world to our doorstep through authentic celebrations that respect and showcase the rich diversity of our community. From Eid festivities to Diwali celebrations, from cultural heritage months to traditional holiday observances, each event is planned with care and authenticity.
These aren't just parties—they're meaningful gatherings where you can share your family's traditions, taste foods that remind you of home, and pass down stories to younger generations. You'll also have the beautiful opportunity to learn about other cultures, expanding your world while staying connected to your roots. Our participants often tell us these celebrations feel like family reunions, filled with laughter, music, traditional dances, and the kind of warmth that makes everyone feel they belong. Because diversity isn't just something we acknowledge—it's something we celebrate.
