Originating from the first harvest celebrations on the African continent, Kwanzaa is celebrated in December and honors the principles of family, community and culture.

Join the Museum for African Art and the Central Park Conservancy for a festive Harlem Meer Social Hour facilitated by choreographer Abdel Salaam and guests from Harlem's Forces of Nature Dance Theatre. Celebrate this African-American and Pan-African holiday by enjoying complimentary refreshments, live music and dance, and songs in English and Swahili in the Kwanzaa tradition.
