For this special Wednesday Night Live, The Gantt will celebrate Kwanzaa, highlighting its fourth principle Ujamaa (meaning cooperative economics). The celebration will include a candle-making workshop with Kathy Fogle of Happy Kat Candles, an African-inspired dance class with artist and educator Jermaine Nakia Lee, and an informational session about the history and traditions of Kwanzaa with our city’s own, Kwanzaa Charlotte. We will also have a local artisan fair, featuring an array of hand-crafted treasures for sale during the evening.
This experience is free and open to community members of all ages, and masks are required.
