Organize a Day of Kwanzaa

​

Each day of Kwanzaa centers on one of the Seven Principles. Community members, organizations, creators, and cultural leaders are invited to steward a day and help shape its activities, performances, and meaning.

If you or your group would like to host workshops, lead ceremonies, create children’s sessions, or curate the cultural experience for a specific principle, we welcome your vision.

This is your chance to bring creativity, leadership, and cultural pride to the community.
