This year 2013 being a landmark year for Igbo Cultural Society Network (ICSN) 15 year anniversary, meant that extra work and preparation was put into this year’s Iri Ji Festival (as well as our other social events).
This year’s Iri Ji Festival was not just solely about honouring our culture, and continuing the legacy of the New Yam festival, but also about paying homage, and respecting the lineage of our unique organisation ICSN, hence this year’s titled " ICSN Iri Ji (New Yam) Festival 2013 & 15 Year Anniversary Celebration".
Over 500 people attended this year, the most we have ever had. So many came that we even had to close the doors early. The usual transport issues played their role in delaying proceedings, but that did not stop this movement of Igboness overcoming these issues, enabling the Iri Ji festival to continue.
