About this Event
Welcome to the New Yam Festival 2024!
The Igbo Association Ottawa-Gatineau invites all Igbo daughters and sons from Abia, Anambra, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Rivers, and the public from all over Canada, to the 2024 New Yam Festival, also known as Iwa Ji and Iri Ji Ohuru!
This First Annual New Yam Festival will showcase thrilling cultural dances and mesmerizing masquerades. A special feature of the festival will be a live performance by the Ogene highlife musical maestro, Ejyk Nwamba – the Ogene master!
And of course, no New Yam Festival is complete without a taste of home! We'll have a delicious spread of Igbo delicacies: spicy Ugba, hearty Ji Nmiri Oku, flavorful Nkwobi, and savory Abacha.
It's a day to celebrate our heritage, reconnect with loved ones, and create new memories!
