About this Event

The YMI Annual Kwanzaa Celebration

Join us this year for an evening of storytelling, drumming, reflection, candle-lighting, African dance, and community connection. We invite you to wear your ancestral or African attire and to take part in this meaningful celebration. Guests are encouraged to bring a side dish or dessert to share—along with the recipe—to honor our tradition of collective sharing.

Space is limited, and while tickets are free to the public, we ask that you register on Eventbrite to reserve your spot. Should you wish to participate in the ceremony, please email us at [email protected].
