Best Answer

No, Kwanzaa is not a traditional observance based upon traditional celebrations. Instead, it is a yearly festivity that celebrates the African heritage of African-American communities in the United States of America. It has been held every year since its launching in 1966. So it can be said that a tradition of holding Kwanzaa is established even though the celebrations do not reflect the continuation of any one specifically traditional observance in history.
