 Kwanzaa, celebrated every year from December 26 to January 1, is so much more than just a holiday. It’s a vibrant, week-long tribute to African heritage, unity, and shared values. Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, the name "Kwanzaa" comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," meaning “first fruits.” Each day focuses on one of seven guiding principles, called the Nguzo Saba, offering a powerful framework for reflection, growth, and connection. At its heart, Kwanzaa is about bringing people together. It’s a time to honor heritage, learn from one another, and build stronger communities. Through meaningful gatherings, creativity, and shared purpose, Kwanzaa inspires hope and unity for the future. This year, Winston-Salem is hosting a series of free, family-friendly events that bring the spirit of Kwanzaa to life. Everyone is welcome—come join the celebration, connect with your neighbors, and experience the joy of this meaningful tradition. Winston-Salem Kwanzaa Events December 26: Umoja (Unity)
