FEATURED EVENTS

Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series where museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more! Join us on the first day of this weeklong annual celebration honoring African American culture. Reflect on the seven principles of Kwanzaa, spend time among community, and enjoy live performances. Join us in the Grand Hall before our main-stage event to enjoy food and drinks available for purchase from the Key Bistro. Visit resource tables to learn more about local African American-focused organizations and play a variety of card games with other guests.

Enjoy a day of culture, performance, and tradition during one of the region’s biggest Kwanzaa celebrations. Celebrated at the Museum for more than 20 years, the free, annual Kwanzaa Celebration is presented in partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Saint Louis Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter.

A Kwanzaa ceremony highlights a day of storytelling, craft and jewelry displays, and authentic African drumming and musical performances celebrating this contemporary African-American holiday centered around the feast table of the harvest.
