Gaithersburg is a diverse place made up of people with different backgrounds who all come together to strengthen the fabric of our community – and make it much more interesting. When we share our cultures, when we share our traditions, and when we share our history, we create a sense of belonging, a sense of home.

Through our Multicultural Affairs Committee, we host a variety of events & programs recognizing the cultures that make up Gaithersburg, including Arab American, Asian Pacific, Black History, Native American, and Hispanic heritage months.

We hope you’ll join us & add your voice to the collective tale that is the City of Gaithersburg. Share your story with us on social media using #WeAreGaithersburg.

The mission of the Multicultural Affairs Committee is to enrich our City through the promotion of understanding, respect, and appreciation of the many cultures of Gaithersburg. Interested in volunteering & helping us plan our Heritage Month celebrations? Please e-mail us at MAC@gaithersburgmd.gov.
