HOLIDAY EVENTS: CARY KWANZAA

Bring your friends and family to join in the 18th Annual Cary Kwanzaa celebration at the Cary Arts Center, Thursday December 27, beginning at 3 p.m.

Cary Kwanzaa is a communal, cultural celebration that honors African-American people and their heritage. This year’s theme, Social Change Through Community Involvement, will feature performances by Bradley Simmons, Director of the Duke Djembe Ensemble, Spoken Word artist Robin Mills and Ghanaian drummer Kwabena Osei Appiagyei.

Cary Kwanzaa will also feature a craft and nonprofit fair, children’s activity and African food.

Kwanzaa is a celebration for all people, focusing on family, friends and the fruits of the earth. During Kwanzaa, people are invited to ponder the Nguzo Saba, seven powerful principles derived from African heritage, as a means of taking stock, celebrating achievements and entering the future refreshed and renewed.

Cary Kwanzaa is co-sponsored by the Ujima Group, Inc. and the Town of Cary Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department.   The Cary Arts Center is located at 101 Dry Avenue, Cary, NC 27511 (at the end of Academy Street in Downtown Cary).
