Once at Campus Martius, officials will debut the 30-foot-tall Kinara.
“The 30-foot-tall Motor City Kwanzaa Kinara will add a new seasonal monument for the celebration of African American life, community, and culture to the park’s already existing holiday landscape alongside the Christmas tree and Menorah erected each year,” the Downtown Detroit Partnership said in their event announcement.
The Kinara will be on display at the park through Jan. 1, 2023.
