The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual tribute recognizing performing arts contributions to American culture. Presented annually since 1978, a December gala celebrates five Honorees at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. Chiefly awarded to individuals for lifetime achievements, honorees have occasionally included duos or musical groups, while collective honors have recognized one musical, one television show, and one performing arts venue.
