A Decade of Iriji Festivals
For over ten years, The Igbo Council of Traditional Title Holders USA, Inc. has successfully organized the annual Iriji (New Yam) Festivals, an iconic celebration of Igbo culture, unity, and agricultural heritage. Each year, the festival brings together Igbo title holders, community members, and friends from across the United States to honor this age-old tradition, which symbolizes thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest and the start of a new farming cycle.
The Iriji Festival has grown to become one of the most anticipated cultural events in the Diaspora, showcasing the beauty of Igbo customs through vibrant displays of traditional attire, music, dance, and communal sharing of the new yam. Through this festival, we have strengthened the bonds between Igbo communities in the U.S., preserved a critical aspect of our heritage, and introduced the next generation to the importance of agricultural and cultural practices.
Celebrating Our 10-Year Anniversary
In 2021, The Igbo Council of Traditional Title Holders USA, Inc. proudly marked its 10-year anniversary, celebrating a decade of achievements and contributions to the Igbo community. The milestone anniversary was a reflection of our commitment to upholding the values and traditions of Igbo land, both in the Diaspora and at home. The celebration was a resounding success, bringing together esteemed Igbo title holders, cultural enthusiasts, and dignitaries in an unforgettable event that highlighted our rich history and forward-looking vision.
Over the past decade, we have worked tirelessly to achieve our goals, from promoting unity among N'digbo in the Diaspora to advocating for the preservation of our customs and traditions. The 10th Anniversary event was not just a celebration of our past successes, but also a reaffirmation of our commitment to continue our work for generations to come.
Our success stories are a testament to the dedication, unity, and passion of our members and the wider community. As we look ahead to the future, we remain focused on furthering our mission to preserve Igbo culture, support educational initiatives, and foster unity wherever the Igbo people are.
