On August 15 2007- a planned "Iwaji", new yam festival will take place in the greater Los Angeles area....

New yam is a festival celebrated in the Igboland to recognize annual fresh havest of yams. This is usually right after the rainy season...Ma extended family back at home celebrate with dance, food, tall tells, night tells, mmawu..etc.

I need ideas of what to include in the festivties...

can yall help me with some ideas?

thanks in advance

depending on if it's an outdoor festival and how big you want the event to be,

food/snacks (the regulars)- isi ewu, nwkobi, ugba, palm wine, suya etc etc

entertainment - cultural dance, african market place, live music, have vendors etc, kiddie corners (like kids making their own "african" masks, cutsey things like that)

there are really many things you can do esp in LA, you might want to share a little bit of what you have in mind that way people can suggest different things

thanks gurl,

I haven't decided yet on making it outdoor or indoor but I was thinking something big done both outdoor and indoor...

Isi eri · 05-24-2007, 10:01 PM

i think you should do something outdoors..

it'll be more fun + attract more people (esp if you are looking to make $$ from the event)

include some oliver decoque, pepper soup. for the kids: a pinata/apple bobbing, fashion parade...
