Dr. L. Darnell Shields and Friends' Annual Kwanzaa Celebration

Get ready to celebrate community, culture, and tradition in person at one of the most joyful gatherings of the year! Our annual Kwanzaa Celebration is back—and it’s bigger, brighter, and filled with even more love.

Come connect with friends, family, and neighbors as we honor the spirit of the season with vibrant drumming, uplifting dancing, and a beautiful marketplace of local vendors offering handmade goods and cultural treasures.

We are honored to celebrate this year at Calvary Assembly of God, under the gracious leadership of Pastor John Husband, whose commitment to community and spiritual grounding helps make this gathering possible. His support reflects the very essence of Kwanzaa—unity, purpose, and collective uplift.

Expect fun, food, and unforgettable moments for the entire family. This is your invitation to experience the warmth, unity, and joy of Kwanzaa, hosted by Dr. LaMarr Darnell Shields (Lasana Manas) and friends.

Come as you are. Leave inspired.

This is community. This is culture. This is Kwanzaa.
