BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) – The Kwanzaa Crawl, the largest bar crawl in support of Black-owned businesses, will be kicking off Tuesday in Brooklyn.
Over 60 teams will be making their way to more than 40 Black-owned businesses and bars across seven neighborhoods.
More than 4,000 people participated in the event in 2022. The bar crawl launched back in 2016.
Since then, it has generated over $500,000 in revenue for Black bars and businesses.
The event celebrates Black culture with an emphasis on the Kwanzaa principles of community, family and cooperative economics, according to organizers.
