Ikenga Day 2025
Ikenga Day 2025 – A European Igbo Festival
Welcome to another epic edition of Ikenga Day, the fourth of its kind, taking place on Sept. 27th, 2025. Since its launch date in 2022, Ikenga Day has become the go-to event in promoting, celebrating and honouring Igbo people, culture and traditions in France.
Believing that the importance of Idinotu (unity) cannot be overemphasized, this edition discussion will continue with the 2023 theme of Idinotu Ndigbo, where discussions revealed the desire of the people to revive the common goal and oneness of old. This conference will be held online, to welcome participants worldwide.
