How does Kwanzaa end? Do people in Canada celebrate Kwanzaa?

Kwanzaa is a holiday that celebrates African culture and values. It lasts for seven days, from December 26 to January 1. Each day has a different principle, such as unity, creativity, and faith.

People who celebrate Kwanzaa light candles, exchange gifts, and share a feast on the last day. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, but a cultural one. It was created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, a professor of African studies.

Kwanzaa is mainly celebrated in the United States, but it has also spread to other countries where there are people of African descent. For example, some people in Canada celebrate Kwanzaa as well.

According to a 2016 census, there are about 1.2 million people of African origin living in Canada. Some of them observe Kwanzaa as a way to connect with their heritage and community. However, Kwanzaa is not as widely known or practiced in Canada as it is in the United States.
