For the past 9 years, We Stay/Nos Quedamos has proudly hosted our annual We Are Melrose (WAM) Festival, a celebration of Melrose’s culture, people, history, and the lived experiences that make our community strong.
This year, on July 11th from 2PM–6PM at Yolanda Garcia Park (409 E. 159th Street), we will come together for our 10th Annual We Are Melrose Festival with this year’s theme: The Fight for Preservation!
As we celebrate this milestone, we also recognize an important moment for our community. The future of our affordable housing, neighborhood identity, and community voice depends on our collective commitment to preserving what we have built together. The Melrose Urban Renewal Plan, a framework that has helped protect affordability, community participation, and the character of our neighborhood, is set to expire in 2034.
This moment is an opportunity to honor our legacy, recognize the power of residents, and continue building a future where decisions about Melrose are shaped with the community, by the community, and for the community.
Most importantly, WAM is a day of joy, connection, and celebration. Join us for live performances, music, giveaways, community resources, delicious food, and the chance to celebrate the people who make Melrose home.
