(see times)
December 26, 2019 to January 1, 2020 at various times and venues
This year's Kwanzaa Celebration promises to be the best yet! The Village Project and our community partners will present their 14th annual Kwanzaa celebrations throughout San Francisco and Oakland, with seven days of community events, starting on Dec. 26th through January 1st. Striving to unite and strengthen our family, community and nation, we will celebrate each of the seven principles of Kwanzaa (the Nguzo Saba). There will be 17 free events in 9 different neighborhoods of San Francisco. Our 18th celebration will be held for the first time in the city of Oakland at Geoffrey's Inner Circle, where Tia Carroll will entertain with her smooth, saucy and soulful voice. We are also excited to have Bethel AME Church, Fellowship Manor and St. Phillip Baptist Church hosting events this year. Each hosting organization will present exciting and enriching cultural programs, intended to both entertain and engage the entire family. A spiritual ceremony - pouring of libations and honoring of ancestors- will start each program and will be followed by a feast, live entertainment and the lighting of one of the seven candles of the Kinara. This year's celebration will again start at City Hall on Dec. 26th at 12 Noon, with Umoja (Unity) and end at St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church on Jan. 1st at 6 pm with the lighting of the final candle, Imani (faith).
This year's entertainment line-up includes Briana J's Dance Troupe performing at City Hall, with Dr. Dorothy Tsuruta as keynote speaker. The other headliners are a myriad of rhythm & blues and jazz performers, featuring Tia Carroll, Fillmore Slim, Bernard Anderson, Lady Bianca, David Hardiman & Band, Funkstar and African Guitarist Jessie Sahbi, just to name a few. There will also be spoken word artists and drumming, all followed by a feast of savory delights. Vendors, along with art, drumming and dance workshops will be available for at MOAD on Dec, 26th and the Boys & Girls Club on Dec. 29th.
