Kwanzaa Celebration and Motor City Kinara Lighting

December 26 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

In partnership with Alkebu-lan Village, the City of Detroit, the Downtown Detroit Partnership and other community partners, we are pleased to welcome back the Motor City Kwanzaa Kinara and Lighting at Campus Martius Park. 

 

Recognized as one of the largest Kwanzaa Kinara displays in the world, this 30-foot-tall monument is designed to stand alongside Detroit’s other major holiday displays, serving as a vibrant symbol of African American life, culture, and community. 

 

Join us Thursday, Dec. 26, from 3-7 p.m. for the lighting of the first Kwanzaa candle, Umoja (Unity) and kick off this meaningful week of celebration with family, friends and neighbors. 

 

Experience music, joy and community spirit as Detroit comes together to honor Kwanzaa’s traditions.
