Join the African American Dance Ensemble on January 1, 2025, as we celebrate our 39th annual Kwanzaa event. This year, we will focus on the principle of Imani, which stands for Faith—believing wholeheartedly in our community and the justice and triumph of our journey.
Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate African American culture and values such as unity, self-determination, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. It’s a time for reflection and joy, featuring communal feasts and gatherings that unite family and friends.
Doors will open to the public at noon, with performances starting at 2:00 pm at the historic Durham Armory. Kwanzaa Fest is free and welcomes everyone. This celebration attracts a diverse audience, as the AADE is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich traditions of African and African American dance and music with the wider community.
In memory of Baba Chuck Davis, we encourage attendees to bring canned goods and toiletries to donate to Ummi's Ummah.
