The WOMB hosted two nights of the city-wide Kwanzaa celebration this year. 

Monday December 26th (Umoja – Unity) and Saturday December 31st (Kuumba- Creativity) took place at the WOMB from 6:00-8:00pm. These free, family friendly events included the traditional candle-lighting ceremony as well as music, guest performers, and discussion about each night’s featured principle.

On Saturday 12/31, a free TOY GIVEAWAY for children under age 12 took place beginning at 3pm. Children also experienced our special planetarium exhibit highlighting the constellations which inspired the pyramids at Giza. The 6pm Kwanzaa celebration was followed by The WOMB’s weekly Expression Lounge, an open mic session for local poets, musicians, and comedians.
