The Global Citizen Festival occurred on September 23, 2023, in New York City in Central Park. This movement calls on world and corporate leaders and philanthropists to do their part in making a worldwide impact to defeat poverty, demand equity, and defend the planet. This year, actress and advocate Danai Gurira was once again in attendance at the event she has shown support for since 2016.

Other notable celebrities included Chris Rock, Charlize Theron, Sophia Bush, Padma Lakshmi, Connie Britton, Carmelo Anthony, Gail King, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Busy Phillips, and others.
