The 2nd Annual Chi-Village Kwanzaa Celebration honors the deep connections throughout the African Diaspora, the enduring legacy of our ancestors, and the profound love Chi-Village has for the community. ​​

​

Chicago's rich history as a hub for Kwanzaa festivities sets the stage for this year's celebration, which weaves the past and present to forge a blueprint for a future rooted in unity, collective building, and restoring economic prowess. Chi-Village is reigniting the flames of community with new young energy and revitalizing the legacy of Kwanzaa celebrations. This celebration is more than an event; it is a call to action. Chi-Village is continuing the tradition of cultural preservation, economic freedom, and the expansion of individual and collective consciousness among African people throughout the Diaspora are at the heart of this celebration. We are dedicated to upholding these principles, ensuring our community thrives and prospers.

"It is our responsibility to preserve the cultural integrity of Kwanzaa against anyone or anything that seeks to undermine it. Because that is the legacy that we've inherited and that's our responsibility." - Baba Hannibal Afrik.
