Kwanzaa
2100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free
Kwanzaa is rooted in African culture, however, people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds are welcome to join in the celebration. The 2017 cultural festival of African and African-American heritage marks the park’s 37th annual Kwanzaa celebration from December 26 through December 29. Organized by WorldBeat Cultural Center, “Healing the World through Music, Art, Dance & Culture” is the theme that coincides with the first principle of Kwanzaa, which is unity, or umoja. This free event celebrates the African-American holiday and the Cultural Center will be celebrating four of the seven days of the holiday with candle lighting, libations, drumming, poetry, and traditional African-American soul food.
