Diversity Day Celebration took place June 7, 2026
Building Community. Bridging Divides.
Join us for the popular Diversity Celebration on the Morristown Green!
Diversity Celebration is a community event sponsored by the Diversity Coalition of Morris County that brings together friends and members of the Greater Morris County Area in order to celebrate the gifts of our neighbors. Our aim is to bring people together, safely to celebrate diversity and obtain information that could help create better understanding about new cultures among all in attendance. The success of this event has been credited largely to the various religious, cultural, and educational organizations and community members who contribute their time and financial support to the event.
Thank You to our Diversity Celebration Sponsors!
