Kwanzaa Family Festival & Marketplace

Celebrate culture, community and creative expression at NJPAC’s annual Kwanzaa Family Festival & Marketplace!

Join the hundreds of families who make the free Kwanzaa Family Festival part of their annual celebration. It’s a full day of uplifting programs — including a candle-lighting ceremony and vibunzi — based on the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

NJPAC’s Community Engagement makes Kwanzaa magical … and memorable.

From 12 – 4PM, enjoy holiday-infused activities including dance classes for all abilities, arts and crafts, interactive storytelling and exquisite face painting.

From 12 – 7PM, watch energizing performances by local dancers and musicians in Prudential Hall Lobby.

From 12 – 7PM, shop the popular Kwanzaa Marketplace. Gift your loved ones with one-of-a-kind items from local crafters and artisans such as custom and cultural clothing, handcrafted jewelry and accessories, bath and body products, crystals, artwork, books and more.
