Stop racing uptown to Harlem on Sunday mornings to experience gospel music in one of our local churches. Our Harlem Saturday Gospel and Brunch Tour starts at 11:00 a.m. at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church with a one-hour hand-clapping, foot-stomping, soulful black gospel music concert. After the gospel concert, we make our way to one of the local restaurants on Lenox Avenue for a delicious brunch. To top off the tour, we will tour the Mount Morris Park Historic District area. Here, you will find a multitude of churches rich with history among the places where our prominent individuals made their homes. Some of the most well-known musicians and entertainers started their journeys here, and much of the music that began here is now immortalized in American pop culture for future generations to enjoy. Make our way across 125th Street, the heartbeat of Harlem, and finish at the world-famous Apollo Theater. Our Harlem Saturday Gospel and Brunch Tour is truly a day well spent in Harlem.
The tour starts at the Apollo Theater with a brief conversation on the history of Harlem and the Apollo Theater.
