Kwanzaa community event communications calendar

Date and planning boundary

NMAAHC states Kwanzaa is observed from December 26 through January 1 and describes the seven principles. No local gathering or host is implied.

The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture is the source for the observance dates and basic context; local event details must come from the host.
