Kwanzaa is an African-inspired holiday | CBC Kids News

Did you know that African-Canadians celebrate Kwanzaa every year, starting on Dec. 26? For seven days, they get together with their families, eat African food, dance, drum, and celebrate the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

In Halifax, CBC Kids News contributor Eve Wedderburn met some members of the African community there, and learned all about it.
