About this Event

Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration of African-American culture that takes place from December 26 to January 1 of each year.
Kwanzaa celebrates African American history, values, family, and community. It's based on African harvest festival traditions and the philosophy of Kawaida, which defines culture as a key component in people's development.
The Gwinnett County Kwanzaa Celebration: Ujima and Ujamma 2025 takes place virtually on Saturday, December 27, 2024 from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. It is a family-friendly event, so bring the entire family and your friends.
