Kwanzaa is a cultural festival that honors African-American heritage and African traditions. It takes place from December 26 to January 1 and was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga. The festival is rooted in African harvest festival traditions and centers around seven core principles known as the Nguzo Saba. It’s celebrated through activities such as lighting the kinara and involves music, dance, poetry, and storytelling. On December 31, a communal feast called karamu is held. Kwanzaa is observed by millions of people of African descent globally, emphasizing values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement.
