This event is our contribution to the multicultural fabric/mosaic of Helsinki and Finland as a whole. With Igbo Day 2010, we hope to depict a portrait of respect, equality, diversity, and ultimately the eradication of racism from the communal mosaic that makes up Helsinki and Finland. The Festival Igbo Union Festival (Igbo Festival) 2010 is a one-day (starts at 3 pm) cultural presentation and extravaganza presented by the Umunna (Igbo) Cultural Association of Helsinki. The evening and night events would feature a brief summary of who the Igbo people are, our cultural performances, traditional attire/fashion show, and food and crafts from the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. Igbo Day 2010 will also feature performances by other Igbo cultural groups in and across Finland.
