Celebrating Ndi Igbo Culture: New Yam Festival (Iri Ji) 2024 in the North East of England
The Ndi Igbo North East of England (NINE) proudly celebrated its annual New Yam Festival, also known as Iri Ji, on August 3rd, 2024. This vibrant event brought together the Igbo community and friends to honor our rich cultural heritage and the bountiful harvest of the yam, which holds deep significance in Igbo tradition.
From the rhythmic beats of the traditional drums to the colorful attires that graced the occasion, the New Yam Festival was a spectacular display of Igbo culture. The event featured lively performances, traditional dances, and heartfelt prayers to the ancestors, thanking them for a fruitful harvest and seeking blessings for the year ahead.
The highlight of the day was the symbolic breaking and tasting of the new yam, a ritual performed by the elders of the community. This act not only signifies the start of the harvest season but also reinforces the bonds of unity and togetherness among Ndi Igbo.
As the festival unfolded, the air was filled with laughter, music, and the aroma of delicious traditional dishes prepared to celebrate the new yam. It was a joyous occasion where both young and old connected with their roots, shared stories, and celebrated the values that have been passed down through generations.
