It’s a time to celebrate the rich histories, diverse cultures, and important contributions of America. As members of multiple communities on Long Island, we want to stay connected to our heritages. It is important to reflect on the American history and culture. The United States is home to a diverse population that celebrates its cultural richness and variety through local festivals, community events, and other grassroots activities.  Across American Roots supports all cultures by providing an iconic venue Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island where diverse perspectives, cultures and values are accepted, appreciated, and celebrated. This event wants to celebrate all American Cultures and Traditions and spread awareness about its richness and history. This music event features a wide array of music styles: African American music, European music influenced by American culture and Indian American music traditions.
