What is The KwanZaa Gwaride?
The KwanZaa Gwaride celebrates the coming of the New Year. The KwanZaa New Year begins on December 26 or in KwanZaa parlance WaKwanZaa 1. KwanZaa ushered in a new age and the Gwaride is the spiritual procession through whence we salute our ancestral legacy, as well as the unseen forces of Ntr. In that sense, being part of the Gwaride is an exercise in cultural commitment and personal growth. The maskers, dancers, musicians and participants honor the culture; and their presence contributes to the intricate fabric of the KwanZaa story.
