IMO STATE DAY — NEW YAM FESTIVAL CELEBRATION 2026
Join us as we celebrate Imo State Day and the New Yam Festival, a vibrant cultural event that honors the rich heritage and traditions of the Igbo people.
The New Yam Festival (Iri Ji) is one of the most important cultural celebrations in Igbo land. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and symbolizes gratitude, prosperity, and unity within the community.
This special event organized by IMO Diaspora Union Switzerland will bring together sons and daughters of Imo State, friends of the Igbo culture, and members of the wider community to celebrate our heritage through traditional music, dance, cultural displays, and delicious African cuisine.
Guests will experience the beauty of Igbo culture through traditional attire, cultural performances, community networking, and the ceremonial presentation of the new yam, a symbol of abundance and thanksgiving.
The celebration is not only a cultural event but also an opportunity for the Imo community in Switzerland to strengthen bonds, promote cultural identity, and share our traditions with the next generation.
Come and celebrate with us as we honor our roots and embrace the spirit of unity.
