Gwinnett County Kwanzaa 2025: Celebrating Kujichagulia - Self Determination

Join us for the Gwinnett County Kwanzaa 2025 - Celebrating Kujichagulia: Self-Determination.

Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration of African-American culture that takes place from December 26 to January 1 of each year.

Kwanzaa celebrates African American history, values, family, and community. It's based on African harvest festival traditions and the philosophy of Kawaida, which defines culture as a key component in people's development.

Gwinnett County Kwanzaa 2025 - Celebrating Kujichagulia: Self-Determination is a family-friendly event, so bring the entire family and your friends.

• Kujichagulia: The second day of Kwanzaa is dedicated to the principle of kujichagulia, which means "self-determination". The day is a call for African-Americans to define their own culture, identity, and values, rather than being defined by others.

The event features a Kwanzaa program, activities, Black books giveaway, Black culture games, prizes, and networking. We are going to love up on each other while building Black unity and power with a 2026 strategic plan!

Our Kwanzaa dishes are provided by Moses-Ragsdale Kitchen and Camrose Creative Services -- prepared with a lot of love! Vegan options available.

This event is presented by the Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce, Black Gwinnett Magazine and the Urban Mediamakers.
