Join us for the citywide Kwanzaa celebration where tradition meets creativity! This year’s program features an array of hands-on crafts and captivating performances, designed to honor and celebrate the rich heritage of Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa is a 7-day celebration that honors community, family and heritage of African American culture and African traditions. Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili word that means “first harvest” and is based on the principles of Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles). For our two-day event, the Ohio History Connection and TAWI Family Village will celebrate Kwanzaa with African drumming, music, dance, food demos and hands-on art activities. This is a free, family-friendly event. The events at the museum will be part of events that are taking place throughout the community.
