## About

A community tasting and art experience built on the seven principles of Kwanzaa (Nguzo Saba), run as two 90-minute sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Jamestown Settlement. Seven stations each pair a drink or dessert with a reflection card, a guiding question for small-group discussion and a visual storytelling element from the book 'Once Upon a Kwanzaa'. Participants can build a group collage or small cardboard art pieces, and are welcome to bring a gift for a Zawadi exchange. Included with museum admission.
