All About Our Story
Step into the heart of Igbo heritage with the Iriji Festival 2025 — a powerful celebration of identity, community, and gratitude. Rooted in centuries-old tradition, Iriji (the New Yam Festival) marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of renewed hope. In Igbo culture, yam is more than a crop — it is the king of the harvest, a sacred symbol of abundance, honour, and life itself.
This year, in the dynamic city of Manchester, we invite you to experience the soul of Igbo culture like never before. Through vibrant traditional dances, live performances, ancestral rituals, and mouthwatering delicacies, the Iriji Festival brings the rhythm of the homeland to the diaspora — connecting generations, bridging cultures, and igniting pride.
More than an event, this is a homecoming — for Igbo sons and daughters, friends, and allies from every walk of life. It is a moment to give thanks to Chukwu (God), to honour our elders, uplift our youth, and stand together in cultural unity.
Come curious. Leave inspired.
Iriji Festival 2025 — Our Roots. Our Rhythm. Our Celebration.
The Iriji Festival 2025 is more than a celebration — it’s a living, breathing expression of Igbo identity in the modern world. Designed to promote intercultural dialogue and share the richness of Igbo heritage, this vibrant festival offers an immersive journey into our traditions. From electrifying dance performances and age-old rituals to the aroma of authentic cuisine, every moment invites you to experience the soul of a people rooted in resilience and joy.
In the heart of the diaspora, the festival becomes a bridge — uniting elders and youth, newcomers and natives, the Igbo and our extended global family. It’s a space where stories are passed down, culture is honoured, and community thrives.
Curated with care, crafted with heart — Iriji 2025 is where tradition meets today.
Come celebrate the legacy, the learning, and the laughter.
