Holidays at the Lewis
Museum Admission
Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and bring in the season of Christmas and Kwanzaa with soulful melodies and a little holiday funk. The Baltimore Center Stage will present sample tunes from Santa Claus Is Comin’, a dazzling, family-friendly musical concert celebration by Nygel D. Robinson. Enjoy live Christmas music classics from Motown & More and presentations from Dance Baltimore Repertory Ensemble to include a tribute to Paul “Fat Daddy” Johnson’s “Fat Daddy Christmas.” Experience a storytelling and funky drumming re-interpretation of the Little Drummer Boy song along with the Nativity Story by Mama Deborah Pierce Fakunle and Dr. David O. Fakunle. Children and families will be able to meet and take photos with Black Santa and participate in a holiday craft project with crafter Sallah Jenkins.
Celebrate the principles of Kwanzaa for all ages with Culture Queen followed by African drumming and dancing with Nyame Nti Cultural Healing Arts Therapy, Inc. (N-CHAT). Finally, explore the Kwanzaa principle Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) with Francis Formen of Black Commerce Maryland and Cluster Consulting. He, along with several local Black business owners will discuss how this principle strengthens communities by keeping dollars circulating, lowering costs and building collective power.
