African American Dance Ensemble Kwanzaafest

Join the African American Dance Ensemble for their 39th Kwanzaa celebration! The focus will be on the principle of Imani, which represents Faith. It’s a time to wholeheartedly believe in community and the justness of community struggles. Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate African American culture and values, such as unity, self-determination, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. It’s also a moment for reflection and joy, featuring communal feasts and gatherings that unite family and friends.

Doors will open at noon, with performances kicking off at 2 p.m. Kwanzaa attracts a wide audience, creates a fun family-friendly atmosphere, showcasing African American performing artists and supporting small businesses. It serves as both a marketplace for vendors and a vibrant performing arts concert, filled with dance, music, poetry, and more. Artists and artistic groups from across the region will join the African American Dance Ensemble for a heartwarming celebration of love, sharing, and inspiring entrepreneurship to welcome the new year.

In memory of Baba Chuck Davis, please bring canned goods and toiletries, which will be donated to Ummi’s Ummah of Durham.
