In This Story

    MOIA recognizes Immigrant Heritage Week and the contributions of immigrant New Yorkers who have transformed the city into a global capital of innovation, creativity, and progress. In 2025, we commemorate the day when 11,000 immigrants arrived in NYC and we celebrate 400 years of New York City, all in honor of the generations of immigrants who have built this city and will continue to shape its future.
